A few minor nit picks I registered, IDK how hard we want to press
on these:

 - it seems in couple places you remove the last user of DRV_RELDATE,
   but not the define. In case of bonding maybe we can remove the date
   too. IDK what value it brings in the description, other than perhaps
   humoring people;
 - we should probably give people a heads up by CCing maintainers
   (regardless of how dumb we find not bothering to read the ML as
   a maintainer);
 - one on the FW below..

As part of this series, I deleted various creative attempts to mark
absence of FW. There is no need to set "N/A" in ethtool ->fw_version
field and it is enough to do not set it.
These seem reasonable to me, although in abundance of caution it could
be a good idea to have them as separate commits so we can revert more
easily. Worse come to worst.
Leon please address this feedback as it seems reasonable to me.
Of course, it was just weekend here, so I wasn't near computer too much :).

Thanks
