c3f45d322c dl2k: Add support for IP1000A-based cards
Add support for IP1000A chips to dl2k driver.
IP1000A chip looks like a TC9020 with integrated PHY.

This allows IP1000A chips to work reliably because the ipg driver is
buggy - it loses packets under load and then completely stops
transmitting data.

Tested with Asus NX1101 v2.0 at 10, 100 and 1000Mbps:
vendor=0x13f0 device=0x1023 (rev 0x41)
subsystem vendor=0x1043 device=0x8180

MAC address registers access needed to be changed from 8-bit to 16-bit
because 8-bit does not work on IP1000A. 8-bit access is not even
allowed in the TC9020 datasheet (although it worked). 16-bit access
works on both.

Tested that it does not break D-Link DGE-550T (DL-2000 chip, probably
a rebranded TC9020):
vendor=0x1186 device=0x4000 (rev 0x0c)
subsystem vendor=0x1186 device=0x4000

138b15ed87 drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO
This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it.  And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.

However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next.  We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.

No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

a1606c7dc6 net: Move MII out from under NET_CORE and hide it
All drivers that select MII also need to select NET_CORE because MII
depends on it.  This is a bit ridiculous because NET_CORE is just a
menu option that doesn't enable any code by itself.

There is also no need for it to be a visible option, since its users
all select it.

168e06ae26 drivers/net: delete old parallel port de600/de620 drivers
The parallel port is largely replaced by USB, and even in the
day where these drivers were current, the documented speed was
less than 100kB/s.  Let us not pretend that anyone cares about
these drivers anymore, or worse - pretend that anyone is using
them on a modern kernel.

As a side bonus, this is the end of legacy parallel port ethernet,
so we get to drop the whole chunk relating to that in the legacy
Space.c file containing the non-PCI unified probe dispatch.

aaba215ca0 MII: fix Kconfig dependencies for MII
MII Kconfig option is apart of the core networking drivers and
by default NET_CORE is enabled so drivers selecting MII will
have MII enabled as well.  It was found using the randconfig
option during testing, MII would be selected but NET_CORE
could be disabled.  This caused a dependency error.

Resolved the dependency by selecting NET_CORE when MII is
selected.

88f07484cc drivers/net/ethernet/*: Enabled vendor Kconfig options
Based on finds for Stephen Rothwell, where current defconfig's
enable a ethernet driver and it is not compiled due to the newly
added NET_VENDOR_* component of Kconfig.

This patch enables all the "new" Kconfig options so that current
defconfig's will continue to compile the expected drivers.  In
addition, by enabling all the new Kconfig options does not add
any un-expected options.
