[PATCH 0/2 v3 net-next] 8390: core cleanups

[Armin Wolf]

The purpose of this patchset is to do some
cleanups in lib8390.c and 8390.c.

While most changes are coding-style related,
pr_cont() usage in lib8390.c was replaced by
a more SMP-safe construct.

Other functional changes include the removal of
version-printing in lib8390.c so modules using lib8390.c
do not need a global version-string in order to compile
successfully.

Patches do compile and run flawless on 5.9.0-rc1 with
a RTL8029AS nic using ne2k-pci.

v3 changes:
- swap commits to not break buildability (sorry)
- move MODULE_LICENCE at the bottom and remove MODULE_VERSION in 8390.c

v2 changes:
- change "librarys" to "libraries" in 8390.c commit
- improve 8390.c commit
- prevent uneven whitespaces in error message (lib8390.c)
- do not destroy kernel doc comments in lib8390.c
- fix some typos in lib8390.c

Actually reverted, this adds a new build warning:

drivers/net/ethernet/8390/ax88796.c:58:22: warning: ‘version’ defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]
   58 | static unsigned char version[] = "ax88796.c: Copyright 2005,2007 Simtec Electronics\n";
