This is the version 5 submission for the Altera Triple Speed Ethernet (TSE)
driver. All comments received during the version 2, 3, and 4 submissions have 
been accepted. Please find the change log and a description of the submission
below. 

Series applied to net-next, thanks.

Actually, I had to revert, your driver adds new warnings to the build:

drivers/net/ethernet/altera/altera_tse_main.c: In function ‘altera_tse_probe’:
drivers/net/ethernet/altera/altera_tse_main.c:1238:23: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
   priv->tx_dma_desc = (void *)descmap;
                       ^
drivers/net/ethernet/altera/altera_tse_main.c:1242:23: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
   priv->rx_dma_desc = (void *)(descmap+priv->txdescmem);
                       ^

A pointer can be larger than an "unsigned int", you therefore cannot
cast it to a pointer.

In fact this code path has a lot of problems, we pass a pointer to an unsigned int
as a "void __iomem *" to request_and_map().  It's not, don't pretend that it is,
and don't use casts to try and make the compiler also not see the problem.
