Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Conflicts:
drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_main.c
drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c
net/ipv4/gre.c
The GRE conflict is between a bug fix (kfree_skb --> kfree_skb_list)
and the splitting of the gre.c code into seperate files.
The FEC conflict was two sets of changes adding ethtool support code
in an "!CONFIG_M5272" CPP protected block.
Finally the sh_eth.c conflict was between one commit add bits set
in the .eesr_err_check mask whilst another commit removed the
.tx_error_check member and assignments.
