The buffers for the TSO headers belong to a DMA coherent region which is
allocated at ndo_open() time, and released at ndo_stop() time.
Therefore, and contrary to the TSO payload descriptor buffers, the TSO header
buffers don't need to be unmapped. This commit adds a check to detect a
TSO header buffer and explicitly prevent the unmap.

Currently small MSS values may require too many TSO descriptors for
the default queue size. This commit prevents this situation by fixing
the maximum supported TSO number of segments to 100 and by setting a
minimum Tx queue size. The minimum Tx queue size is set so that at
least 2 worst-case skb can be accommodated.
In addition, the queue stop and wake thresholds values are adjusted
accordingly. The queue is stopped when there's room for only 1 worst-case
skb and waked when the number of descriptors is half that value.

Commit 5445eaf309 ('mvneta: Try to fix mvneta when compiled as
module') fixed the mvneta driver to make it work properly when loaded
as a module in SGMII configuration, which was tested successful by the
author on the Armada XP OpenBlocks AX3, which uses SGMII.
However, some other platforms, namely the Armada XP GP don't use
SGMII, but a QSGMII connection between the MAC and the PHY, and this
case was not supported by the mvneta driver, which was relying on
configuration put in place by the bootloader. While this works when
the mvneta driver is built-in (because clocks are not gated), it
breaks when mvneta is built as a module, because the clock is gated
(all configuration is lost) and then re-enabled when the mvneta driver
is loaded.
In order to support all of RGMII, SGMII and QSGMII, this commit
reworks how the PHY interface configuration is done, and simplifies
it: it removes the mvneta_port_sgmii_config() and
mvneta_gmac_rgmii_set() functions, which were strange because
mvneta_gmac_rgmii_set() was called in all cases, even for SGMII
configurations. Also, the mvneta_gmac_rgmii_set() function was taking
a boolean as argument, which was always true.
Instead, all the PHY interface configuration logic is moved into the
mvneta_port_power_up() function, in a much simpler 'switch' construct,
with four cases:
- QSGMII: the RGMIIEn bit, the PCSEn bit in GMAC_CTRL_2 are set, and
the SERDES is configured in QSGMII. Technically speaking,
configuring the SERDES of the first port would be sufficient, but
it is simpler to do it on all ports.
- SGMII: the RGMIIEn bit, the PCSEn bit in GMAC_CTRL_2 are set, and
the SERDES is configured as SGMII.
- RGMII: the RGMIIEn bit in GMAC_CTRL_2 is set. The PCSEn bit is kept
cleared, and no SERDES configuration is done, because RGMII is not
using SERDES lanes.
- other: an error is returned. For this reason, the
mvneta_port_power_up() now returns an int instead of nothing, and
the return value is checked by mvneta_probe().
This has been successfully tested on:
* Armada XP DB, which has two RGMII and two SGMII connections
* Armada XP GP, which uses QSGMII for its four interfaces
* Armada 370 Mirabox, which has two RGMII connections

This reverts commit e3a8786c10. While
this commit allows to use the mvneta driver as a module on some
configurations, it breaks other configurations even if mvneta is used
built-in.
This breakage is due to the fact that on some RGMII platforms, the PCS
bit has to be set, and on some other platforms, it has to be
cleared. At the moment, we lack informations to know exactly the
significance of this bit (the datasheet only says "enables PCS"), and
so we can't produce a patch that will work on all platforms at this
point. And since this change is breaking the network completely for
many users, it's much better to revert it for now. We'll come back
later with a proper fix that takes into account all platforms.
Basically:
* Armada XP GP is configured as RGMII-ID, and needs the PCS bit to be
set.
* Armada 370 Mirabox is configured as RGMII-ID, and needs the PCS bit
to be cleared.
And at the moment, we don't know how to make the distinction between
those two cases. One hint is that the Armada XP GP appears in fact to
be using a QSGMII connection with the PHY (Quad-SGMII), but
configuring it as SGMII doesn't work, while RGMII-ID works. This needs
more investigation, but in the mean time, let's unbreak the network
for all those users.

Commit 5445eaf309 ('mvneta: Try to fix mvneta when compiled as
module') fixed the mvneta driver to make it work properly when loaded
as a module in SGMII configuration, which was tested successful by the
author on the Armada XP OpenBlocks AX3, which uses SGMII.
However, it turns out that the Armada XP GP, which uses RGMII, is
affected by a similar problem: its SERDES configuration is lost when
mvneta is loaded as a module, because this configuration is set by the
bootloader, and then lost because the clock is gated by the clock
framework until the mvneta driver is loaded again and the clock is
re-enabled.
However, it turns out that for the RGMII case, setting the SERDES
configuration is not sufficient: the PCS enable bit in the
MVNETA_GMAC_CTRL_2 register must also be set, like in the SGMII
configuration.
Therefore, this commit reworks the SGMII/RGMII initialization: the
only difference between the two now is a different SERDES
configuration, all the rest is identical.
In detail, to achieve this, the commit:
* Renames MVNETA_SGMII_SERDES_CFG to MVNETA_SERDES_CFG because it is
not specific to SGMII, but also used on RGMII configurations.
* Adds a MVNETA_RGMII_SERDES_PROTO definition, that must be used as
the MVNETA_SERDES_CFG value in RGMII configurations.
* Removes the mvneta_gmac_rgmii_set() and mvneta_port_sgmii_config()
functions, and instead directly do the SGMII/RGMII configuration in
mvneta_port_up(), from where those functions where called. It is
worth mentioning that mvneta_gmac_rgmii_set() had an 'enable'
parameter that was always passed as '1', so it was pretty useless.
* Reworks the mvneta_port_up() function to set the MVNETA_SERDES_CFG
register to the appropriate value depending on the RGMII vs. SGMII
configuration. It also unconditionally set the PCS_ENABLE bit (was
already done for SGMII, but is now also needed for RGMII), and sets
the PORT_RGMII bit (which was already done for both SGMII and
RGMII).
This commit was successfully tested with mvneta compiled as a module,
on both the OpenBlocks AX3 (SGMII configuration) and the Armada XP GP
(RGMII configuration).

calling dma_map_single()/dma_unmap_single() is quite expensive compared
to copying a small packet. So let's copy short frames and keep the buffers
mapped. We set the limit to 256 bytes which seems to give good results both
on the XP-GP board and on the AX3/4.
The Rx small packet rate increased by 16.4% doing this, from 486kpps to
573kpps. It is worth noting that even the call to the function
dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu() is expensive (300 ns) although less
than dma_unmap_single(). Without it, the packet rate raises to 711kpps
(+24% more). Thus on systems where coherency from device to CPU is
guaranteed by a snoop control unit, this patch should provide even more
gains, and probably rx_copybreak could be increased.

Make use of build_skb() to allocate frags on the RX path. When frag size
is lower than a page size, we can use netdev_alloc_frag(), and we fall back
to kmalloc() for larger sizes. The frag size is stored into the mvneta_port

free method to use. MTU changes are safe because the MTU change function
stops the device and clears the queues before applying the change.
