net_device_ops support in bridging and fec_mpc52xx.c

[Henk Stegeman <henk.stegeman@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I discovered the hard way that because linux bridging uses
net_device_ops, bridging only works with network drivers that publish
their device operations trough net_device_ops.

In my case running:

brctl addif br0 eth0 (where eth0 fec_mpc52xx.c did not yet support
net_device_ops) gave me a:

Unable to handle kernel paging request...

After changing fec_mpc52xx.c to support net_device_ops the problem was fixed.

If possible some kind of detection in the bridging software is i think
mostly appreciated for early detection of this problem, as it is
pretty hard to relate the error message to a not updated driver.

cheers,

Henk
