This driver is a port of the Linux kernel driver for the SMSC/Microchip LAN95xx
USB-Ethernet controllers:

    Copyright (C) 2007-2008 SMSC (now Microchip Technology Inc.)

The chip initialisation sequence, register programming order, register/bit
definitions, and half-duplex configuration are derived from that source. The
present work is therefore a derivative work and is distributed under GPL-2.0, a
permitted narrowing of the upstream "or later" grant.

The upstream driver has had additional contributors and copyright holders over
its history. Anyone redistributing this project should confirm the copyright
line above against the exact upstream revision they are tracking; the notice
here reflects the header of the current mainline file
(drivers/net/usb/smsc95xx.c).

Register addresses and bit definitions also correspond to facts published in
Microchip's LAN9500A datasheet. The programming *sequences* are the part derived
from the GPL-licensed Linux source.
