net: ethernet: actions: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.
To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

net: Remove C45 check in C22 only MDIO bus drivers

The MDIO core should not pass a C45 request via the C22 API call any
more. So remove the tests from the drivers.

net: drop the weight argument from netif_napi_add

We tell driver developers to always pass NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT
as the weight to netif_napi_add(). This may be confusing
to newcomers, drop the weight argument, those who really
need to tweak the weight can use netif_napi_add_weight().

ethernet: constify references to netdev->dev_addr in drivers

This big patch sprinkles const on local variables and
function arguments which may refer to netdev->dev_addr.

Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev->dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.

Some of the changes here are not strictly required - const
is sometimes cast off but pointer is not used for writing.
It seems like it's still better to add the const in case
the code changes later or relevant -W flags get enabled
for the build.

No functional changes.

ethernet: use eth_hw_addr_set() for dev->addr_len cases

expression dev, np;

- memcpy(dev->dev_addr, np, dev->addr_len)

In theory addr_len may not be ETH_ALEN, but we don't expect
non-Ethernet devices to live under this directory, and only
the following cases of setting addr_len exist:
- cxgb4 for mgmt device,
and the drivers which set it to ETH_ALEN: s2io, mlx4, vxge.

# a7605370 27-Jul-2021 Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

dev_ioctl: split out ndo_eth_ioctl

Most users of ndo_do_ioctl are ethernet drivers that implement
the MII commands SIOCGMIIPHY/SIOCGMIIREG/SIOCSMIIREG, or hardware
timestamping with SIOCSHWTSTAMP/SIOCGHWTSTAMP.

Separate these from the few drivers that use ndo_do_ioctl to
implement SIOCBOND, SIOCBR and SIOCWANDEV commands.

This is a purely cosmetic change intended to help readers find
their way through the implementation.
