Subject: [NET]: Add __dev_getfirstbyhwtype
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.22-rc1~1036^2~39
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4e9cac2ba437fcb093c7417b1cd91a77ebd1756a;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git

[NET]: Add __dev_getfirstbyhwtype

Add __dev_getfirstbyhwtype for callers that don't want a reference but
some data from the device and thus need to take the rtnl anyway.
