Hello,
This patch set moves initialization of most Ethernet controllers to board or CPU code. A few of the more complicated ones remain, but the goal is to implement this on all controllers.
Notes: 1. I obviously wasn't able to test many of these. I compiled what I could with the tools on hand, but there's a chance for some breakage. 2. Many, many boards are affected by this. I didn't copy the individual board maintainers because, well, that would be a lot of work :) Each patch lists the boards that are modified directly. 3. I've tried to design this so that people can still choose different PCI-based Ethernet controllers with a simple CONFIG change. I appreciate feedback on this implementation.
regards, Ben
