3f518509de ethernet: Add new driver for Marvell Armada 375 network unit
This commit adds a new network driver for the network controller in Marvell
Armada 375 SoC.

Given the controller is very different from the ones in the other Marvell
SoCs that use the mv643xx_eth (Kirkwood, Orion, Discovery) and mvneta
(Armada 370/38x/XP) drivers, a new driver is needed.

c3a07134e6 mv643xx_eth: convert to use the Marvell Orion MDIO driver
This patch converts the Marvell MV643XX ethernet driver to use the
Marvell Orion MDIO driver. As a result, PowerPC and ARM platforms
registering the Marvell MV643XX ethernet driver are also updated to
register a Marvell Orion MDIO driver. This driver voluntarily overlaps
with the Marvell Ethernet shared registers because it will use a subset
of this shared register (shared_base + 0x4 to shared_base + 0x84). The
Ethernet driver is also updated to look up for a PHY device using the
Orion MDIO bus driver.

For ARM and PowerPC we register a single instance of the "mvmdio" driver
in the system like it used to be done with the use of the "shared_smi"
platform_data cookie on ARM.

Note that it is safe to register the mvmdio driver only for the "ge00"
instance of the driver because this "ge00" interface is guaranteed to
always be explicitely registered by consumers of
arch/arm/plat-orion/common.c and other instances (ge01, ge10 and ge11)
were all pointing their shared_smi to ge00. For PowerPC the in-tree
Device Tree Source files mention only one MV643XX ethernet MAC instance
so the MDIO bus driver is registered only when id == 0.

c5aff18204 net: mvneta: driver for Marvell Armada 370/XP network unit
This patch contains a new network driver for the network unit of the
ARM Marvell Armada 370 and the Armada XP. Both SoCs use the PJ4B
processor, a Marvell-developed ARM core that implements the ARMv7
instruction set.

Compared to previous ARM Marvell SoCs (Kirkwood, Orion, Discovery),
the network unit in Armada 370 and Armada XP is highly different. This
is the reason why this new 'mvneta' driver is needed, while the older
ARM Marvell SoCs use the 'mv643xx_eth' driver.

Here is an overview of the most important hardware changes that
require a new, specific, driver for the network unit of Armada 370/XP:

 - The new network unit has a completely different design and layout
   for the RX and TX descriptors. They are now organized as a simple
   array (each RX and TX queue has base address and size of this
   array) rather than a linked list as in the old SoCs.

 - The new network unit has a different RXQ and TXQ management: this
   management is done using special read/write counter registers,
   while in the Old SocS, it was done using the Ownership bit in RX
   and TX descriptors.

 - The new network unit has different interrupt registers

 - The new network unit way of cleaning of interrupts is not done by
   writing to the cause register, but by updating per-queue counters

 - The new network unit has different GMAC registers (link, speed,
   duplex configuration) and different WRR registers.

 - The new network unit has lots of new units like PnC (Parser and
   Classifier), PMT, BM (Memory Buffer Management), xPON, and more.

The driver proposed in the current patch only handles the basic
features. Additional hardware features will progressively be supported
as needed.

This code has originally been written by Rami Rosen
<rosenr@marvell.com>, and then reviewed and cleaned up by Thomas
Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>.

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.
