Please fix the date on your system / patches.

Acknowledgment: Portions of the driver code were authored by Felipe
Balbi [off-list ref]

Strangely none of the patches carry his sign-off tho, neither have you
CCed him?

Presumably this is going via the networking tree, so please tag the
patches with [PATCH net-next] rather than the name of the driver.
Subject should sufficiently serve as an indication of what the patches
do.

The net-next networking tree is now closed and will reopen shortly
after the merge window is over:

http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/net-next.html

If you post a next version before it's open to get reviews - please
post it as [RFC net-next].

(also don't use "static inline" in C files, compiler will know)
