From: Tristram Ha <Tristram.Ha@micrel.com>
Add Micrel KSZ8841/KSZ8842 PCI Ethernet chip support.
Some users like to use KSZ8842 switch to run Spanning Tree Protocol. As a result a hardware STP support was implemented so that the host does not waste CPU time forwarding each and every packet.
Signed-off-by: Tristram Ha <Tristram.Ha@micrel.com> --- This is a resubmission of the Micrel KSZ8841/2 PCI Ethernet driver.
