> The rm9200 boards use the dedicated at91_ether driver instead of the
> regular macb driver.
> 
> Both the macb and at91_ether drivers can be compiled as separated
> modules.
> Since the at91_ether driver uses code from the macb driver, at91_ether.ko
> depends on macb.ko.
> 
> However the macb.ko module always fails to load on rm9200 boards: the
> macb_probe() function expects a hclk clock which doesn't exist on rm9200.
> Then the at91_ether.ko can't be loaded in turn due to unresolved
> dependencies.
> 
> This series of patches fix this issue by merging at91_ether into macb.

Series applied to net-next, thanks.
