Device unload control net function should inform firmware  

What is "control net" again?  

Control net is just a software layer which is used by the host driver
as well as the firmware to communicate with each other, given in the
source file octep_ctrl_net.c and the corresponding octep_ctrl_net.h
interface, which is already part of upstreamed driver.

Yes, I think it went in before I had time to nack it.
I'm strongly against using the IP stack to talk to FW,
if you read the ML you would know it.

No new patches to octep_ctrl_net will be accepted.
