====================
net: stmmac: Stop using hard-coded callbacks
This a starting point for a cleanup and re-organization of stmmac.
In this series we stop using hard-coded callbacks along the code and use
instead helpers which are defined in a single place ("hwif.h").
This brings several advantages:
1) Less typing :)
2) Guaranteed function pointer check
3) More flexibility
By 2) we stop using the repeated pattern of:
if (priv->hw->mac->some_func)
priv->hw->mac->some_func(...)
I didn't check but I expect the final .ko will be bigger with this series
because *all* of function pointers are checked.
Anyway, I hope this can make the code more readable and more flexible now.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
