Hello.

   Here's the set of 5 patches against Simon Horman's 'renesas.git' repo,
'renesas-devel-v3.14-rc2-20130213' tag. Here we add still missing DMA masks
for the Ether platform devices (I was always wondering how the 'sh_eth' driver
manages to work without them :-). This should be especially important for the
Lager/Koelsch boards with their CPUs supporting LPAE and the boards having
memory outside 4 GiB address range, so we'd have to eventually enable
CONFIG_HIGHMEM for them; I also have plans to add support for NETIF_F_SG to the
'sh_eth' driver -- in which case the correct DMA masks would become important.

[1/5] ARM: shmobile: Armadillo 800 EVA: set proper DMA masks for Ether device
[2/5] ARM: shmobile: BOCK-W: set proper DMA masks for Ether device
[3/5] ARM: shmobile: Lager: set proper DMA masks for Ether device
[4/5] ARM: shmobile: Koelsch: set proper DMA masks for Ether device
[5/5] ARM: shmobile: Genmai: set proper DMA masks for Ether device

WBR, Sergei
