Re: smsc95xx: detect chip revision specific features

Hi Dan,
drivers/net/usb/smsc95xx.c
  1283          if (pdata->wolopts & (WAKE_BCAST | WAKE_MCAST | WAKE_ARP | WAKE_UCAST)) {
  1284                  u32 *filter_mask = kzalloc(32, GFP_KERNEL);
                                                   ^^
We allocate 8 unsigned 32 bit values.  I think this is the mistake here
actually.  It is a typo and should say:

                        u32 *filter_mask = kzalloc(sizeof(u32) * 32, GFP_KERNEL);

If 8 elements was the intent then that's nasty.
Good spot!  8 32-bit elements was the intent, but all the following
code is actually accessing it using what should be byte offsets.  So I
think this should read:

    u8 *filter_mask = kzalloc(32, GFP_KERNEL);

The rest of the code following makes sense then, up until:
  1349                          ret = smsc95xx_write_reg_nopm(dev, WUFF, filter_mask[i]);
Which we'll need to change so it dereferences a u32 at that offset
instead of a u8, something like *((u32 *)&filter_mask[i])

If this looks good to you I'll prepare a patch?
