[PATCH 1/1] smsc95xx: add FLAG_POINTTOPOINT flag for driver_info

[jgq516]

From: Xiao Jiang <jgq516@gmail.com>

commit c26134 introduced FLAG_POINTTOPOINT flag for USB ethernet devices
which possibly use "usb%d" names, add this flag to make sure pandaboard
can mount nfs with smsc95xx NIC.

These are normal Ethernet interfaces, whereas FLAG_POINTTOPOINT is for
devices that use non-standard short physical links.

I always mount nfs in console, and not tried to mount nfs as root fs.

What is your kernel parameter? Maybe you use 'usb%d' in kernel parameter for
mounting nfs as root fs. If so, could you try 'eth%d' in kernel cmd?

In fact, smsc95xx is a real LAN interface, and 'eth%d' should be prefered name
as described in changelog of commit
c261344d3ce3edac781f9d3c7eabe2e96d8e8fe8(usbnet:use eth%d name for
known ethernet devices)

This flag is used by some usb NICs, I amn't familiar with those cards 
perhaps those are
non-standard short physical links as you said.
But smsc95xx seems need this flag to use "usb%d" name, at least my 
pandaboard can't
mount nfs with eth0 name, is there other ways to avoid nfs issue with 
keep smsc95xx's
name unchange? thanks.
