Fixed an error unwind in bonding_store_bonds that didn't release
the locks it held, and consolidated unwinds into a common block at the
end of the function. Bug reported by Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>,
who provided a different fix.

If the call to bond_create_sysfs_entry in bond_create fails, the
proper rollback is to call unregister_netdevice, not free_netdev.
Otherwise - kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:4057!
Checked with artificial failures injected into bond_create_sysfs_entry.
Pavel's original patch modified by Jay Vosburgh to move code around
for clarity (remove goto-hopping within the unwind block).

x86.git testing found this build bug on v2.6.26-rc1:
ERROR: "pnp_get_resource" [drivers/net/irda/smsc-ircc2.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
make: *** [modules] Error 2
the driver did not anticipate the case of !CONFIG_PNP which is rare but
still possible. Instead of restricting the driver to PNP-only in the
Kconfig space, add the (trivial) dummy struct pnp_driver - this is that
other drivers use in the !PNP case too.
The driver itself can in theory be initialized on !PNP too in certain
cases, via smsc_ircc_legacy_probe().
Patch only minimally build tested, i dont have this hardware.

while generally most users will have PNP enabled, drivers can support
non-PNP build mode too - and most drivers implement it. That is typically
done by providing a dummy pnp_driver structure that will not probe anything.
The fallback routines in the driver will handle this dumber mode of
operation too.
This patch implements that. I have not tested whether this actually
works on real hardware so take care. It does resolve the build bug.
[ Another solution that is used by a few drivers is to exclude the driver
in the Kconfig if PNP is disabled, via "depends on PNP", but this would
limit the availability of the driver needlessly. ]

Changeset 7f7c4072ea552f97a0898331322f71986a97299c ("niu: Determine
the # of ports from the card's VPD data") caused maramba on-board
NIU ports to stop probing properly.
The old code had a fallback that would use a num_ports value of
4 if all the probing methods failed, but that was removed.
This restores the fallback of 4 ports, to get things working
again.
Bump driver version and release date.

The new RV2P firmware fixes 2 issues:
1. The jumbo rx buffer page size is now configurable and set to the
proper PAGE_SIZE. Before, it was assumed to be always 4K.
2. Driver sometimes would crash when receiving jumbo packets mixed
with firmware management packets. This was caused by the old
firmware DMA'ing to the wrong address.

On some remote PHY blade systems, the driver receives no initial link
interrupt. As a result, the GMII/MII MAC mode does not get setup properly.
To fix this problem, we add an initial poll of the link state after chip
reset.
With this change, the setting of the initial carrier state in the init
code can be eliminated.

All variants of the 5714, 5715, and 5780 offer a feature called the
"Universal Management Port". This feature is implemented in firmware
and is largely transparent to the driver, except...
It turns out that the UMP firmware needs to know the current status
of the link. Because the firmware cannot touch the PHY registers while
the driver is in control of the device, it needs the driver to report
link status changes through an additional handshaking mechanism.
Without this handshake, it has been observed in the field that the UMP
firmware will not operate correctly.
This patch implements the new handshake with the UMP firmware. Since
the handshake uses the same mechanism ASF heartbeats use, code was
added to detect and wait for completion of a pending previous event.

A CPMU related loopback test bug existed for AX revisions of the 5761.
While that errata has been fixed, the CPMU still slows down the core
clock too far to run the loopback test successfully. This patch
disables the CPMU LINK_SPEED mode just like we do with the AX
revisions of the 5761 and all revisions of the 5784.

The MI clock is not configured correctly on adapters with the CPMU
present. The tg3 driver has code which statically sets the MI clock to
be a fraction of the speed at which the core clock is running.
However, the CPMU can change the adapter's core clock frequency based
on operating conditions. Consequently, the MI will run slow when the
core's clock has been slowed down.
There is a new 500KHz constant frequency clock available on adapters
with a CPMU. This patch removes the static core clock scaling and
configures the MI clock to use this new 500KHz clock instead.
Running the MI clock at slower speeds will not directly result in data
corruption, but it does challenge the PHY read and write routine timeouts.

acpi_processor_idle and "idle=" boot parameter interaction is broken.
The problem is that, at boot time acpi driver is checking for "idle=" boot
option and not registering the acpi idle handler. But, when there is a CST
changed callback (typically when switching AC <-> battery or suspend-resume)
there are no checks for boot_option_idle_override and acpi idle handler tries
to get installed with nasty side effects.
With CPU_IDLE configured this issue causes results in a nasty oops on CST
change callback and without CPU_IDLE there is no oops, but boot option
of "idle=" gets ignored and acpi idle handler gets installed.
Change the behavior to not do anything in acpi idle handler when there is a
"idle=" boot option.
Note that the problem is only there when "idle=" boot option is used.
