3be92a7023 [PATCH] sky2: ratelimit error messages
Make sure and rate limit all the error messages that might occur. If a problem
occurs then a few messages are enough.

1c28f6ba60 [PATCH] sky2: fix ram buffer for Yukon FE rev 2
Fix problems with Yukon FE rev 2 chipset. Don't cut and paste bugs in from
sk98lin driver. Change how the ram buffer is divided up, and make the math
clearer. Also, set the thresholds where rx takes precedence. The threshold
values are just guesses at this point, it might be worth tuning them later.

997f5cbdde [PATCH] e1000: Fix Desc. Rings and Jumbo Frames
This patch contains two fixes.  The first fix is to the tx and rx descriptor rings clean up process.  The second fix is to jumbo frames, which cleans up the code logic and removes most of the fifo related limitations on jumbo frames.  This is because the driver code now supports splitting a packet across multiple descriptors.

030d6753f8 [PATCH] spidernet: read firmware from the OF device tree
request_firmware() is sometimes problematic, especially

updates of the spidernet firmware without reflashing
the system.
