Subject: [PATCH] macb: Kconfig net device compat fixup


The macb driver hasn't been updated to use net_device_ops and as such
should select COMPAT_NET_DEV_OPS to avoid build breakage.

Of course really macb should be updated but in the mean time, this at
least avoid randconfig problems.

The Atmel MACB ethernet interface is found on many AT32 and AT91
parts. Say Y to include support for the MACB chip.

Hmmm...no other drivers do that...

It doesn't look all that difficult. Could you try the below instead?

There's about 26 drivers that fall into this category, it's senseless
to pepper the tree over with this kind of annotation that we'll just
release come next release.

We do have enough drivers converted that powerpc, sparc64, and x86
allmodconfig and allyesconfig builds pass even with the compat option
disabled.

And I think the others can just cope with this for now.

Actually, in the net-next-2.6 tree this driver has in fact been
converted :-)

Better yet, try this one:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/25861/

which is the one that has been applied to -next.
