tc35815 driver update (take 2)
Current tc35815 driver is very obsolete and less maintained for a long time. Replace it with a new driver based on one from CELF patch archive. Major advantages of CELF version (version 1.23, for kernel 2.6.10) are: * Independent of JMR3927. (Actually independent of MIPS, but AFAIK the chip is used only on MIPS platforms) * TX4938 support. * 64-bit proof. * Asynchronous and on-demand auto negotiation. * High performance on non-coherent architecture. * ethtool support. * Many bugfixes and cleanups. And improvoments since version 1.23 are: * TX4939 support. * NETPOLL support. * NAPI support. (disabled by default) * Reduce memcpy on receiving. * PM support. * Many cleanups and bugfixes.
