All conflicts were simple overlapping changes except perhaps
for the Thunder driver.

That driver has a change_mtu method explicitly for sending
a message to the hardware.  If that fails it returns an
error.

Normally a driver doesn't need an ndo_change_mtu method becuase those
are usually just range changes, which are now handled generically.
But since this extra operation is needed in the Thunder driver, it has
to stay.

However, if the message send fails we have to restore the original
MTU before the change because the entire call chain expects that if
an error is thrown by ndo_change_mtu then the MTU did not change.
Therefore code is added to nicvf_change_mtu to remember the original
MTU, and to restore it upon nicvf_update_hw_max_frs() failue.

+* Aspeed BT (Block Transfer) IPMI interface
+
+The Aspeed SOCs (AST2400 and AST2500) are commonly used as BMCs
+(BaseBoard Management Controllers) and the BT interface can be used to
+perform in-band IPMI communication with their host.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible : should be "aspeed,ast2400-ibt-bmc"
+- reg: physical address and size of the registers
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- interrupts: interrupt generated by the BT interface. without an
+  interrupt, the driver will operate in poll mode.
+
+Example:
+
+	ibt@1e789140 {
+		compatible = "aspeed,ast2400-ibt-bmc";
+		reg = <0x1e789140 0x18>;
+		interrupts = <8>;
+	};
