Randy Dunlap 90a08fdcd4 staging: fix all sparse warnings in silicom/bypasslib/
Fix all sparse warning in drivers/staging/silicom/bypasslib/,
e.g.:

drivers/staging/silicom/bypasslib/bypass.c:471:21: warning: non-ANSI function declaration of function 'init_lib_module'
drivers/staging/silicom/bypasslib/bypass.c:478:25: warning: non-ANSI function declaration of function 'cleanup_lib_module'
drivers/staging/silicom/bypasslib/bypass.c:137:5: warning: symbol 'is_bypass_dev' was not declared. Should it be static?
drivers/staging/silicom/bypasslib/bypass.c:182:5: warning: symbol 'is_bypass' was not declared. Should it be static?
drivers/staging/silicom/bypasslib/bypass.c:192:5: warning: symbol 'get_bypass_slave' was not declared. Should it be static?
drivers/staging/silicom/bypasslib/bypass.c:197:5: warning: symbol 'get_bypass_caps' was not declared. Should it be static?
drivers/staging/silicom/bypasslib/bypass.c:202:5: warning: symbol 'get_wd_set_caps' was not declared. Should it be static?
etc.

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.
