b07812f15e net: mvmdio: adjust multiline comment to net/ style
As reported by checkpatch, the multiline comments for net/ and
drivers/net/ have a slightly different format than the one used in the
rest of the kernel, so we adjust our multiline comment accordingly.

d98a80f5b6 net: mvmdio: use <linux/delay.h> instead of <asm/delay.h>
As suggested by checkpatch, using <linux/delay.h> instead of
<asm/delay.h> is appropriate.

fc8f5aded1 net: mvmdio: new Marvell MDIO driver
This patch adds a separate driver for the MDIO interface of the
Marvell Ethernet controllers. There are two reasons to have a separate
driver rather than including it inside the MAC driver itself:

 *) The MDIO interface is shared by all Ethernet ports, so a driver
    must guarantee non-concurrent accesses to this MDIO interface. The
    most logical way is to have a separate driver that handles this
    single MDIO interface, used by all Ethernet ports.

 *) The MDIO interface is the same between the existing mv643xx_eth
    driver and the new mvneta driver. Even though it is for now only
    used by the mvneta driver, it will in the future be used by the
    mv643xx_eth driver as well.
