Broadcom buses may have more than 1 Ethernet device. This is used e.g.
to have few interfaces connected to different switch ports. So far we
saw chipsets with only 2 devices (e.g. BCM4706) but recent ones have
up to 3 (e.g. Netgear R8000 uses 3rd interface for most of switch
traffic, lower interfaces are for some kind of offloading).

"This is the main pull request for MIPS for Linux 4.1. Most
noteworthy:
- Add more Octeon-optimized crypto functions
- Octeon crypto preemption and locking fixes
- Little endian support for Octeon
- Use correct CSR to soft reset Octeons
- Support LEDs on the Octeon-based DSR-1000N
- Fix PCI interrupt mapping for the Octeon-based DSR-1000N
- Mark prom_free_prom_memory() as __init for a number of systems

The driver needs to inform the hardware about the first invalid (not yet
filled) rx slot, by writing its DMA descriptor pointer offset to the
BGMAC_DMA_RX_INDEX register.
This register was set to a value exceeding the rx ring size, effectively
allowing the hardware constant access to the full ring, regardless of
which slots are initialized.
To fix this issue, always mark the last filled rx slot as invalid.

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.

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
