Felix Fietkau 9cde94506e bgmac: implement scatter/gather support
Always use software checksumming, since the hardware does not have any
checksum offload support.
This significantly improves local TCP tx performance.

Rafał Miłecki c25b23b8a3 bgmac: register fixed PHY for ARM BCM470X / BCM5301X chipsets
On ARM SoCs with bgmac Ethernet hardware we don't have any normal PHY.
There is always a switch attached but it's not even controlled over MDIO
like in case of MIPS devices.
We need a fixed PHY to be able to send/receive packets from the switch.

Peter Senna Tschudin 8edfe3b6fa bgmac: Clean warning messages
On my test environment the throughput of a file transfer drops
from 4.4MBps to 116KBps due the number of repeated warning
messages. This patch removes the warning messages as DMA works
correctly with addresses using 0xC0000000 bits.

This does that.

Mostly done via coccinelle script:

Rafał Miłecki 5824d2d16d bgmac: connect to PHY and make use of PHY device
We were already registering MDIO bus, but we were not connecting bgmac
to the PHY. Add proper call and implement adjust link function to switch
MAC into requested state.
At the same time it's possible to drop our internal PHY management.
This is a "standard" PHY, so the "Generic PHY" driver works perfectly
fine with this. Don't duplicate the code.
Finally make use of phy_ethtool_[gs]set functions instead implementing
them from scratch.

This change was successfully tested on BCM5357. I was able to
autonegotiate 1000Mb/s full duplex, as well as force any of the
10/100/1000 half/full modes.

The net/bridge/br_private.h conflict was a function signature (argument
addition) change overlapping with the extern removals from Joe Perches.

In drivers/net/netconsole.c we had one change adjusting a printk message

Lastly, the emulex change was a new inline function addition overlapping

This is important patch for new devices that support unaligned

practice DMA address seems to be randomly copied into status register
when hardware reaches end of a ring. This breaks reading slot number

it will generate a valid random one, such that the adapter is still
usable.

Hauke Mehrtens c6edfe103b bgmac: add ndo_set_rx_mode netdev ops
When changing the device from or to promisc mode this only affects the
device after the device is bought up the next time. For bridging it is
needed to change the device to promisc mode while it is up, which is
possible with this patch.

Hauke Mehrtens 4e209001b8 bgmac: write mac address to hardware in ndo_set_mac_address
The generic implementation just changes the netdev struct and does not
write the new mac address to the hardware or issues some command to do
so.

Rafał Miłecki dd4544f054 bgmac: driver for GBit MAC core on BCMA bus
BCMA is a Broadcom specific bus with devices AKA cores. All recent BCMA
based SoCs have gigabit ethernet provided by the GBit MAC core. This
patch adds driver for such a cores registering itself as a netdev. It
has been tested on a BCM4706 and BCM4718 chipsets.

In the kernel tree there is already b44 driver which has some common
things with bgmac, however there are many differences that has led to
the decision or writing a new driver:
1) GBit MAC cores appear on BCMA bus (not SSB as in case of b44)
2) There is 64bit DMA engine which differs from 32bit one
3) There is no CAM (Content Addressable Memory) in GBit MAC
4) We have 4 TX queues on GBit MAC devices (instead of 1)
5) Many registers have different addresses/values
6) RX header flags are also different

The driver in it's state is functional how, however there is of course
place for improvements:
1) Supporting more net_device_ops
2) SUpporting more ethtool_ops
3) Unaligned addressing in DMA
4) Writing separated PHY driver
