Subject: [2.6.37-rc1, patch] gianfar: fix sleep in atomic...

Since device_set_wakeup_enable now sleeps, it should not be called
from a critical section. Since wol_en is not updated elsewhere, we can
omit the locking entirely.

Having reconsidered that I think it may be better to do something like in the
patch below.

This is a regression fix, so please apply if there are no objections.

Thanks,

Subject: gianfar: Do not call device_set_wakeup_enable() under a spinlock

The gianfar driver calls device_set_wakeup_enable() under a spinlock,
which causes a problem to happen after the recent core power
management changes, because this function can sleep now. Fix this
by moving the device_set_wakeup_enable() call out of the
spinlock-protected area.

Patch applied, thank you.
