Please see followups, this change is bogus, it breaks sparc64 Sun Netra X1 onboard NICs. The tulip driver drives them fine in that case, the dmfe driver doesn't work at all.
There is no reason the normal tulip driver cannot handle these chip variants. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
