[PATCH net-next 00/17] stmmac clean up for 4.3 part2

This patch set creates proper probe functions in the remaining
dwmac-* drivers, lets the drivers manage their own of match data
structure, and cleans up some of the drivers a bit. Note that
should be no functional change in any of the drivers.

First patch from Fengguang fixes a Coccinelle that was found after
the previous patch set when into next.

Probe functions are best placed just above the platform_driver
struct since it usually needs to call other functions in the
driver but this requires some code movement in the drivers. To
keep the conversion itself easier to review the code movement is
done in separate patches. This creates some extra churn but I
think it's worth it in this case.

As only a couple of drivers actually needs to use of match data
this pushed down from stmmac_platform and into the drivers. This
also makes it possible for drivers to have their own match data
structure. dwmac-rk benefits most from this.

After each driver has it's own probe function and manages it's
own match data the setup/free hooks and common match data struct
are removed.

Sorry for the slightly largish patch set this time around.


Since I can only test the core changes on my platform and not the
specific dwmac-drivers I greatly appreciate if people could test
this on their respective platforms. I did spend quite a bit of
time visually checking all these patches, but nothing beats real
hardware testing. Thanks!
