The MDIO controller on the Frame Manager (Fman) is compatible with the

afae5ad78b net/fsl_pq_mdio: streamline probing of MDIO nodes
Make the device tree probe function more data-driven, so that it no longer
searches the 'compatible' property more than once.  The of_device_id[] array
allows for per-entry private data, so we use that to store details about each
type of node that the driver supports.  This removes the need to check the
'compatible' property inside the probe function.

The driver supports four types on MDIO devices:

1) Gianfar MDIO nodes that only map the MII registers
2) Gianfar MDIO nodes that map the full MDIO register set
3) eTSEC2 MDIO nodes (which map the full MDIO register set)
4) QE MDIO nodes (which map only the MII registers)

Gianfar, eTSEC2, and QE have different mappings for the TBIPA register, which
is needed to initialize the TBI PHY.  In addition, the QE needs a special
hack because of the way the device tree is ordered.

All of this information is encapsulated in the fsl_pq_mdio_data structure,
so when an MDIO node is probed, per-device data and functions are used
to determine how to initialize the device.

Changes from commit df505e were incorrectly over-written by commit 10ef9ab.
Fixing the same.

Change log of the original fix:
    Currently RSS rings are not created in a multi-channel config.
    RSS rings can be created on one (out of four) interfaces per port in a
    multi-channel config. Doing this insulates the driver from a FW bug wherin
    multi-channel config is wrongly reported even when not enabled. This also
    helps performance in a multi-channel config, as one interface per port gets
    RSS rings.

3f0a1b58ae forcedeth: prevent TX timeouts after reboot
This complements patch "net-forcedeth: fix TX timeout caused by TX
pause on down link" which ensures that a lock-up sequence is not sent
to the NIC. Present patch ensures that if a NIC is already locked-up,
the driver will recover from it when initializing the device.

It does the equivalent of the following recovery sequence:
 - write NVREG_TX_PAUSEFRAME_ENABLE_V1 to eth1's register
   NvRegTxPauseFrame
 - write NVREG_XMITCTL_START to eth1's register
   NvRegTransmitterControl
 - write 0 to eth1's register NvRegTransmitterControl
(this is at the heart of the "unbricking" sequence mentioned in patch
 "net-forcedeth: fix TX timeout caused by TX pause on down link")

Tested:
 - hardware is MCP55 device id 10de:0373 (rev a3), dual-port
 - reboot a kernel without any of patches mentioned
 - freeze the NIC (details on description for commit "net-forcedeth:
   fix TX timeout caused by TX pause on down link")
 - wait 5mn until ping hangs & TX timeout in dmesg
 - reboot on kernel with present patch
 - host is immediatly operational, no TX timeout

1ff39eb66b forcedeth: fix TX timeout caused by TX pause on down link
On some dual-port forcedeth devices such as MCP55 10de:0373 (rev a3),
when autoneg & TX pause are enabled while port is connected but
interface is down, the NIC will eventually freeze (TX timeouts,
network unreachable).

This patch ensures that TX pause is not configured in hardware when
interface is down. The TX pause request will be honored when interface
is later configured.

Tested:
 - hardware is MCP55 device id 10de:0373 (rev a3), dual-port
 - eth0 connected and UP, eth1 connected but DOWN
 - without this patch, following sequence would brick NIC:
      ifconfig eth0 down
      ifconfig eth1 up
      ifconfig eth1 down
      ethtool -A eth1 autoneg off rx on tx off
      ifconfig eth1 up
      ifconfig eth1 down
      ethtool -A eth1 autoneg on rx on tx on
      ifconfig eth1 up
      ifconfig eth1 down
      ifup eth0
      sleep 120  # or longer
      ethtool eth1
   Just in case, sequence to un-brick:
      ifconfig eth0 down
      ethtool -A eth1 autoneg off rx on tx off
      ifconfig eth1 up
      ifconfig eth1 down
      ifup eth0
 - with this patch: no TX timeout after "bricking" sequence above

Details:
 - The following register accesses have been identified as the ones
   causing the NIC to freeze in "bricking" sequence above:
    - write NVREG_TX_PAUSEFRAME_ENABLE_V1 to eth1's register NvRegTxPauseFrame
    - write NVREG_MISC1_PAUSE_TX | NVREG_MISC1_FORCE to eth1's register NvRegMisc1
    - write 0 to eth1's register NvRegTransmitterControl
   This is what this patch avoids.

6549dd43c0 net: dev: fix the incorrect hold of net namespace's lo device
When moving a net device from one net namespace to another
net namespace,dev_change_net_namespace calls NETDEV_DOWN
event,so the original net namespace's dst entries which
beloned to this net device will be put into dst_garbage
list.

then dev_change_net_namespace will set this net device's
net to the new net namespace.

If we unregister this net device's driver, this will trigger
the NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL event, dst_ifdown will be called,
and get this net device's dst entries from dst_garbage list,
put these entries' dev to the new net namespace's lo device.

It's not what we want,actually we need these dst entries hold
the original net namespace's lo device,this incorrect device
holding will trigger emg message like below.
unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1

so we should call NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL event in
dev_change_net_namespace too,in order to make sure dst entries
already in the dst_garbage list, we need rcu_barrier before we
call NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL event.

With help form Eric Dumazet.

7153f623ea sfc: Fix reset vs probe/remove/PM races involving efx_nic::state
We try to defer resets while the device is not READY, but we're not
doing this quite correctly.  In particular, changes to efx_nic::state
are documented as serialised by the RTNL lock, but they aren't.

1. We check whether a reset was requested during probe (suggesting
broken hardware) before we allow requested resets to be scheduled.
This leaves a window where a requested reset would be deferred
indefinitely.

2. Although we cancel the reset work item during device removal,
there are still later operations that can cause it to be scheduled
again.  We need to check the state before scheduling it.

3. Since the state can change between scheduling and running of
the work item, we still need to check it there, and we need to
do so *after* acquiring the RTNL lock which serialises state
changes.

4. We must cancel the reset work item during device removal, if the
state could ever have been READY.  This wasn't done in some of the
failure paths from efx_pci_probe().  Move the cancellation to
efx_pci_remove_main().

8b7325b4e2 sfc: Never try to stop and start a NIC that is disabled
efx_change_mtu() and efx_realloc_channels() each stop and start much
of the NIC, even if it has been disabled.  Since efx_start_all() is a
no-op when the NIC is disabled, this is probably harmless in the case
of efx_change_mtu(), but efx_realloc_channels() also reenables
interrupts which could be a bad thing to do.

Change efx_start_all() and efx_start_interrupts() to assert that the
NIC is not disabled, but make efx_stop_interrupts() do nothing if the
NIC is disabled (since it is already stopped), consistent with
efx_stop_all().

Update comments for efx_start_all() and efx_stop_all() to describe
their purpose and preconditions more accurately.

Add a common function to check and log if the NIC is disabled, and use
it in efx_net_open(), efx_change_mtu() and efx_realloc_channels().

STATE_INIT and STATE_FINI are equivalent and represent incompletely
initialised states; combine them as STATE_UNINIT.

Rename STATE_RUNNING to STATE_READY, to avoid confusion with
netif_running() and IFF_RUNNING.

The comments do not quite match current usage, but this will be
corrected in subsequent fixes.

53cb13c680 sfc: Replace tso_state::full_packet_space with ip_base_len
We only use tso_state::full_packet_space to calculate the IPv4 tot_len
or IPv6 payload_len, not to set tso_state::packet_space.  Replace it
with an ip_base_len field holding the value of tot_len or payload_len
before including the TCP payload, which is much more useful when
constructing the new headers.

f7251a9ce9 sfc: Simplify TSO header buffer allocation
TSO header buffers contain a control structure immediately followed by
the packet headers, and are kept on a free list when not in use.  This
complicates buffer management and tends to result in cache read misses
when we recycle such buffers (particularly if DMA-coherent memory
requires caches to be disabled).

Replace the free list with a simple mapping by descriptor index.  We
know that there is always a payload descriptor between any two
descriptors with TSO header buffers, so we can allocate only one
such buffer for each two descriptors.

While we're at it, use a standard error code for allocation failure,
not -1.

14bf718fb9 sfc: Stop TX queues before they fill up
We now have a definite upper bound on the number of descriptors per
skb; use that to stop the queue when the next packet might not fit.

7668ff9c2a sfc: Refactor struct efx_tx_buffer to use a flags field
Add a flags field to struct efx_tx_buffer, replacing the
continuation and map_single booleans.

Since a single descriptor cannot be both a TSO header and the last
descriptor for an skb, unionise efx_tx_buffer::{skb,tsoh} and add
flags for validity of these fields.

Clear all flags in free buffers (whereas previously the continuation
flag would be set).
