[Antonio Quartulli <a@unstable.cc>]

Hello David,

here you have a late batch of patches intended for net-next.

Most of the changes are about kerneldoc and other minor cleanups
introduced by Sven Eckelmann and Marek Lindner.

Other than those you have the number of BLA wait periods increased
to 6 to reduce the probability of temporary LAN loops by Simon
Wunderlich.

Several useless NULL checks have been removed by Markus Elfring in
order to make the code simpler and slimmer.

Another change by Simon Wunderlich makes sure that the function
consuming the value written in a sysfs file is executed only when
such value was really changed to a new value.


Please pull or let me know of any problem!
Thanks a lot,
	Antonio
