In this patch we fix some "logical" errors in bypass.c of the silicom bypass driver (in staging). Checkpatch complains about the following errors: - unnecessary forward declarations in a source file - assignment in if condition In addition to that the __init and __exit macros were missing at the init and cleanup function. There are still two warnings left for this file related to too many leadingtabs at nested blocks. I did not touch this issue becasue the code needs really some refactoring. And since i do not have the appropriate hardware to test the code, i do not change the functionality in any way.

Theory of Operation: The Silicom Bypass Network Interface Cards (NICs) are network cards with paired ports (2 or 4). The pairs either act as a "wire" allowing the network packets to pass or insert the device in between the two ports. When paired with the on-board hardware watchdog or other failsafe, they provide high availability for the network in the face of software outages or maintenance. The software requirements are for a kernel level driver that interfaces with the bypass and watchdog, as well as for control software. User control can be either the provided standalone executable (/bin/bpctl) or the API exposed by the Silicom library.
