It's common practice to store MAC addresses for network interfaces into
nvmem devices. However the code to actually do this in the kernel lacks,
so this patch adds of_get_nvmem_mac_address() for drivers to obtain the
address from an nvmem cell provider.
This is particulary useful on devices where the ethernet interface cannot
be configured by the bootloader, for example because it's in an FPGA.

XAUI allows XGMII to reach an extended distance by using a XGXS layer at
each end of the MAC to PHY link, operating over four Serdes lanes.
10GBASE-KR is a single lane Serdes backplane ethernet connection method
with autonegotiation on the link. Some PHYs use this to connect to the
ethernet interface at 10G speeds, switching to other connection types
when utilising slower speeds.
10GBASE-KR is also used for XFI and SFI to connect to XFP and SFP fiber
modules.

RGMII requires special RX and/or TX delays depending on the actual
hardware circuit/wiring. These delays can be added by the MAC, the PHY
or the designer of the circuit (the latter means that no delay has to
be added by PHY or MAC).
There are 4 RGMII phy-modes used describe where a delay should be
applied:
- rgmii: the RX and TX delays are either added by the MAC (where the
exact delay is typically configurable, and can be turned off when no
extra delay is needed) or not needed at all (because the hardware
wiring adds the delay already). The PHY should neither add the RX nor
TX delay in this case.
- rgmii-rxid: configures the PHY to enable the RX delay. The MAC should
not add the RX delay in this case.
- rgmii-txid: configures the PHY to enable the TX delay. The MAC should
not add the TX delay in this case.
- rgmii-id: combines rgmii-rxid and rgmii-txid and thus configures the
PHY to enable the RX and TX delays. The MAC should neither add the RX
nor TX delay in this case.
Document these cases in the ethernet.txt documentation to make it clear
when to use each mode.
If applied incorrectly one might end up with MAC and PHY both enabling
for example the TX delay, which breaks ethernet TX traffic on 1000Mbit/s
links.

Currently the PHY management type is selected by the MAC driver arbitrary.
The decision is based on the presence of the "fixed-link" node and on a
will of the driver's authors.
This caused a regression recently, when mvneta driver suddenly started
to use the in-band status for auto-negotiation on fixed links.
It appears the auto-negotiation may not work when expected by the MAC driver.
Sebastien Rannou explains:
<< Yes, I confirm that my HW does not generate an in-band status. AFAIK, it's
a PHY that aggregates 4xSGMIIs to 1xQSGMII ; the MAC side of the PHY (with
inband status) is connected to the switch through QSGMII, and in this context
we are on the media side of the PHY. >>
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/10/206
This patch introduces the new string property 'managed' that allows
the user to set the management type explicitly.
The supported values are:
"auto" - default. Uses either MDIO or nothing, depending on the presence
of the fixed-link node
"in-band-status" - use in-band status

This commit adds the necessary definitions for the PHY layer to
recognize "qsgmii" as a valid PHY interface. A QSMII interface, as
defined at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Independent_Interface#Quad_Serial_Gigabit_Media_Independent_Interface,
is "is a method of combining four SGMII lines into a 5Gbit/s
interface. QSGMII, like SGMII, uses LVDS signalling for the TX and RX
data and a single LVDS clock signal. QSGMII uses significantly fewer
signal lines than four SGMII busses."
This type of MAC <-> PHY connection might require special handling on
the MAC driver side, so it should be possible to express this type of
MAC <-> PHY connection, for example in the Device Tree.

This patch is an attempt to gather the Ethernet related bindings in one file,
like it's done in the MMC and some other subsystems. It should save some of
the trouble of documenting several properties over and over in each binding
document, instead only making reference to the main file.
I have used the Embedded Power Architecture(TM) Platform Requirements (ePAPR)
standard as a base for the properties description, also documenting some ad-hoc
properties that have been introduced over time despite having direct analogs in
ePAPR.
