eth: remove the driver for acenic / tigon1&2

2026-04-07T01:52:27Z

The entire git history for this driver looks like tree-wide and automated cleanups. There's even more coming now with AI, so let's try to delete it instead.

net: ethernet: neterion: s2io: remove unused driver

2026-01-29T04:08:07Z

The s2io driver supports Exar (formerly Neterion and S2io) PCI-X 10 Gigabit Ethernet cards. Hardware supporting PCI-X has not been manufactured in years. On x86, it was quickly replaced by PCIe. While it stuck around longer on POWER hardware, the last POWER hardware to support it was POWER7, which is not supported by ppc64le Linux distributions. The last supported mainstream ppc64 Linux distribution was RHEL 7; while it is still supported under ELS, ELS is only available for x86 and IBM Z. It is possible to use many PCI-X cards in standard PCI slots (which are still available on new motherboards), but it does not make sense to do so for 10 Gigabit Ethernet because the maximum bandwidth of standard PCI is only 1067 Mbps. It is therefore highly unlikely that this driver is still being used. Remove the driver, and move the former maintainer to the CREDITS file (restoring credit for the vxge driver, which was removed in commit f05643a0f60b ("eth: remove neterion/vxge").

net: ethernet: dnet: remove driver

2026-01-16T03:38:54Z

This legacy platform driver was used with some Qong board. Support for this board was removed with commit c93197b0041d ("ARM: imx: Remove i.MX31 board files") in 2020. So remove this now orphaned driver.

net: spacemit: Add K1 Ethernet MAC

2025-09-16T10:43:49Z

The Ethernet MACs found on SpacemiT K1 appears to be a custom design that only superficially resembles some other embedded MACs. SpacemiT refers to them as "EMAC", so let's just call the driver "k1_emac". Supports RGMII and RMII interfaces. Includes support for MAC hardware statistics counters. PTP support is not implemented.

net: ethernet: oa_tc6: implement register write operation

2024-09-12T03:53:42Z

Implement register write operation according to the control communication specified in the OPEN Alliance 10BASE-T1x MACPHY Serial Interface document. Control write commands are used by the SPI host to write registers within the MAC-PHY. Each control write commands are composed of a 32 bits control command header followed by register write data. The MAC-PHY ignores the final 32 bits of data from the SPI host at the end of the control write command. The write command and data is also echoed from the MAC-PHY back to the SPI host to enable the SPI host to identify which register write failed in the case of any bus errors. Control write commands can write either a single register or multiple consecutive registers. When multiple consecutive registers are written, the address is automatically post-incremented by the MAC-PHY. Writing to any unimplemented or undefined registers shall be ignored and yield no effect.

This reverts commit d5e2d038dbece821f1af57acbeded3aa9a1832c1. We have a report of this chip being used on a SURECOM EP-320X-S 100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter which could still have been purchased in some parts of the world 3 years ago.

The git history for this driver seems to be completely automated / tree wide changes. I can't find any boards or systems which would use this chip. Google search shows pictures of towel warmers and no networking products.
