[PATCH net-next v2 0/7] Polling be gone on LAN95xx

[Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de>]

Do away with link status polling on LAN95xx USB Ethernet
and rely on interrupts instead, thereby reducing bus traffic,
CPU overhead and improving interface bringup latency.

Changes since v1:

* Patch [4/7]:
  * Silence "Error updating MAC full duplex mode" warning if it's
    caused by hot-removal. (Oleksij Rempel)
  * Explain in commit message why a semicolon on a line by itself is
    temporarily added in smsc95xx_status(). (Andrew Lunn)

* Patch [5/7]:
  * Eliminate a checkpatch "no space before tabs" warning.
  * Explain in commit message why the call to phy_init_hw() is moved
    in smsc95xx_resume().

* Patch [6/7]:
  * Expand commit message to explain in greater detail why caching the
    interrupt mask is beneficial. (Andrew Lunn)
