The patch titled
powerpc 4xx EMAC driver: device name reported on timeout is not correct
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
powerpc-4xx-emac-driver-device-name-reported-on-timeout-is-not-correct.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: powerpc 4xx EMAC driver: device name reported on timeout is not correct
From: Mikhail Zolotaryov <lebon@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
IBM EMAC driver performs device reset (drivers/net/ibm_newemac/core.c:
emac_probe() -> emac_init_phy() -> emac_reset()) before registering
appropriate net_device (emac_probe() -> register_netdev()), so net_device name
contains raw format string during EMAC reset ("eth%d").
If the case of reset timeout, emac_report_timeout_error() function is called
to report an error. The problem is this function uses net_device name to
report device related, which is not correct, as a result in the kernel log
buffer we see:
eth%d: reset timeout
The solution is to print device_node full_name instead. After applying
the patch proposed, error string is like the following:
/plb/opb/ethernet@ef600e00: reset timeout
