[netdrvr] Remove Linux-specific changelogs from several Becker template drivers
When in-kernel net drivers branched from Donald Becker's vanilla driver set, in the days before BitKeeper and git, a driver changelog was maintained in the driver source code. These days, the kernel's changelog is far superior and much more accurate, so the in-driver changelogs are removed. Another relic of the Becker/kernel split was version numbering, using "foo-LKx.y.z" notation, resulting in weird version numbers like "1.17b-LK1.1.9". These drivers are for older hardware, and see few changes these days, so the version numbers were all bumped to something more simple. Finally, in xircom_tulip_cb specifically, an additional cleanup removes the always-enabled CARDBUS cpp macro. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

30 Linux kernel version history:
31
32 LK1.1.0:
33 - Jeff Garzik: softnet 'n stuff
34
35 LK1.1.1:
36 - Justin Guyett: softnet and locking fixes
37 - Jeff Garzik: use PCI interface
38
39 LK1.1.2:
40 - Urban Widmark: minor cleanups, merges from Becker 1.03a/1.04 versions
41
42 LK1.1.3:
43 - Urban Widmark: use PCI DMA interface (with thanks to the eepro100.c
44 code) update "Theory of Operation" with
45 softnet/locking changes
46 - Dave Miller: PCI DMA and endian fixups
47 - Jeff Garzik: MOD_xxx race fixes, updated PCI resource allocation
48
49 LK1.1.4:
50 - Urban Widmark: fix gcc 2.95.2 problem and
51 remove writel's to fixed address 0x7c
52
53 LK1.1.5:
54 - Urban Widmark: mdio locking, bounce buffer changes
55 merges from Beckers 1.05 version
56 added netif_running_on/off support
57
58 LK1.1.6:
59 - Urban Widmark: merges from Beckers 1.08b version (VT6102 + mdio)
60 set netif_running_on/off on startup, del_timer_sync
61
62 LK1.1.7:
63 - Manfred Spraul: added reset into tx_timeout
64
65 LK1.1.9:
66 - Urban Widmark: merges from Beckers 1.10 version
67 (media selection + eeprom reload)
68 - David Vrabel: merges from D-Link "1.11" version
69 (disable WOL and PME on startup)
70
71 LK1.1.10:
72 - Manfred Spraul: use "singlecopy" for unaligned buffers
73 don't allocate bounce buffers for !ReqTxAlign cards
74
75 LK1.1.11:
76 - David Woodhouse: Set dev->base_addr before the first time we call
77 wait_for_reset(). It's a lot happier that way.
78 Free np->tx_bufs only if we actually allocated it.
79
80 LK1.1.12:
81 - Martin Eriksson: Allow Memory-Mapped IO to be enabled.
82
83 LK1.1.13 (jgarzik):
84 - Add ethtool support
85 - Replace some MII-related magic numbers with constants
86
87 LK1.1.14 (Ivan G.):
88 - fixes comments for Rhine-III
89 - removes W_MAX_TIMEOUT (unused)
90 - adds HasDavicomPhy for Rhine-I (basis: linuxfet driver; my card
91 is R-I and has Davicom chip, flag is referenced in kernel driver)
92 - sends chip_id as a parameter to wait_for_reset since np is not
93 initialized on first call
94 - changes mmio "else if (chip_id==VT6102)" to "else" so it will work
95 for Rhine-III's (documentation says same bit is correct)
96 - transmit frame queue message is off by one - fixed
97 - adds IntrNormalSummary to "Something Wicked" exclusion list
98 so normal interrupts will not trigger the message (src: Donald Becker)
99 (Roger Luethi)
100 - show confused chip where to continue after Tx error
101 - location of collision counter is chip specific
102 - allow selecting backoff algorithm (module parameter)
103
104 LK1.1.15 (jgarzik):
105 - Use new MII lib helper generic_mii_ioctl
106
107 LK1.1.16 (Roger Luethi)
108 - Etherleak fix
109 - Handle Tx buffer underrun
110 - Fix bugs in full duplex handling
111 - New reset code uses "force reset" cmd on Rhine-II
112 - Various clean ups
113
114 LK1.1.17 (Roger Luethi)
115 - Fix race in via_rhine_start_tx()
116 - On errors, wait for Tx engine to turn off before scavenging
117 - Handle Tx descriptor write-back race on Rhine-II
118 - Force flushing for PCI posted writes
119 - More reset code changes
120
121 LK1.1.18 (Roger Luethi)
122 - No filtering multicast in promisc mode (Edward Peng)
123 - Fix for Rhine-I Tx timeouts
124
125 LK1.1.19 (Roger Luethi)
126 - Increase Tx threshold for unspecified errors
127
128 LK1.2.0-2.6 (Roger Luethi)
129 - Massive clean-up
130 - Rewrite PHY, media handling (remove options, full_duplex, backoff)
131 - Fix Tx engine race for good
132 - Craig Brind: Zero padded aligned buffers for short packets.
