Please accept this patchset for the atl1 driver. It includes a bugfix
for transmit timeouts reported by Alexey Dobriyan, removal of LLTX
(inspired by Kevin Hao's removal of same from atl2), removal of the
EXPERIMENTAL tag (initially submitted in slightly different form by
Chris Snook, but somehow lost), and an update to the driver's
introductory comments.

Jay Cliburn (4):
  atl1: fix transmit timeout bug
  atl1: remove LLTX
  atl1: remove EXPERIMENTAL label
  atl1: update introductory comments

Remove the EXPERIMENTAL label from the atl1 driver and change the vendor
name to include Attansic's successor, Atheros.  We'll leave Attansic in
the name since Attansic's PCI ID (1969) is encoded in the PCI config and
is what users encounter on their systems.

Stop the queue and turn off carrier to prevent transmit timeouts
when the cable is unplugged/replugged.
