When the driver attaches to a device that has a phy handle the probe
routine returns with a reference to that node. This reference is
correctly dropped in the error path and the remove function. In the
fixed phy case however no reference is acquired and so the error path
might drop a reference the driver isn't holding. Fix that by getting a
reference to the MAC.

The line before the changed if condition is:

. If this call succeeds priv->phy_node must not be overwritten in the if
block; otherwise the reference to the node returned by of_parse_phandle
is lost. So add a check that the if block isn't executed in this case.
Furthermore in the fixed phy case no reference is aquired for phy_node

Using a (delayed) workqueue for ERR006358 is not correct - a work queue
is a single-trigger device. Once the work queue has been scheduled, it
can't be re-scheduled until it has been run. This can cause problems -
with an appropriate packet timing, we can end up with packets queued,
but not sent by the hardware, resulting in the transmit timeout firing.
Re-implement this as per the workaround detailed in the ERR006358
documentation - if there are packets waiting to be sent when we service
the transmit ring, and we see that the transmitter is not running,
kick the transmitter to run the pending entries in the ring.

Changing the features (receive checksumming) requires the hardware to be
reprogrammed, and also changes the checks in the receive packet
processing.
The current implementation has a race - fec_set_features() changes the
flags which alter the receive packet processing while the adapter is
active, and potentially receiving frames. Only after we've modified
the software flag do we shutdown and reconfigure the hardware.
This can lead to packets being received and marked with a valid checksum
(via CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY) when the hardware checksum validation has not
yet been enabled.
We must quiesce the device, then change the software configuration for
this feature, and then resume the device if it was previously running.
The resulting code structure also allows us to add other configuration
features in this path without having to quiesce and resume the network
interface and device.

fec_suspend() calls fec_stop() to stop the transmit ring while the
transmit packet processing is still active. This can lead to the
transmit queue being restarted by an intervening packet queued for
transmission, or by the tx quirk timer expiring.
Fix this by disabling NAPI first, which will ensure that the NAPI

detaching the netif device. This ensures that there are no races
with the transmit path - and also ensures that the watchdog won't
fire.
We can then safely stop the ethernet device itself, knowing that the
rest of the driver is safely shut down.
On resume, we bring the device back up in reverse order - we restart
the device, reattach the device (under the tx lock), and then enable
the NAPI handlers.
We also need to adjust the close function to cope with this new
sequence, so that it's possible to cleanly close down the driver
after the hardware fails to resume (eg, due to the regulator_enable()
or pinctrl calls in the resume path returning an error.)

This is the second stage to "move calls to quiesce/resume packet
processing out of fec_restart()", where we remove calls which are not
appropriate to the call site.
In the majority of cases, there is no need to detach and reattach the
interface as we are holding the queue xmit lock across the reset. The
exception to that is in fec_resume(), where we are already detached by
the suspend function. Here, we can remove the call to detach the
interface.
We also do not need to stop the transmit queue. Holding the xmit lock
is enough to ensure that the transmit packet processing is not running
while we perform our task. However, since fec_restart() always cleans
the rings, we call netif_wake_queue() (or netif_device_attach() in the
case of resume) just before dropping the xmit lock. This prevents the
watchdog firing.
Lastly, always call napi_enable() after the device has been reattached
in the resume path so that we know that the transmit packet processing
is already in an enabled state, so we don't call netif_wake_queue()
while detached.

Avoid calling fec_restart() or fec_stop() while the device is down
or not present (iow suspended.)
Although the ndo_timeout method will only be called if the device is
present and running, we defer this to a work queue. The work queue
can run independently, and so needs to repeat these checks to ensure
that a restart doesn't occur after the device has been taken down or
detached for suspend. In this case, we call fec_restart() in the
resume path, so nothing is lost.
For fec_set_features, we add a call to fec_restart() in fec_enet_open()
to ensure that the hardware is appropriate programmed when the interface
is opened. fec_set_features() call should not occur while we're
suspended, so we don't have to worry about that case.
The adjust_link needs similar treatment - this also is called from a
work queue, which may be run independently after we have taken the
device down and detached it. In this case, we just mark the link
down and take no further action. We will reset things appropriately
once the device is up and running again, at which point we will receive

While running: while :; do iperf -c <HOST> -P 4; done, transmit timeouts
are regularly reported. With the tx ring dumping in place, we can see
that all entries are in use, and the hardware has finished transmitting
these packets. However, the driver has not reclaimed these ring
entries.
This can occur if the interrupt handler is invoked at the wrong moment -
eg:
CPU0 CPU1
fec_enet_tx()
interrupt, IEVENT = FEC_ENET_TXF
FEC_ENET_TXF cleared
napi_schedule_prep()
napi_complete()
The result is that we clear the transmit interrupt, but we don't trigger
any cleaning of the transmit ring. Instead, use a different strategy:
- When receiving a transmit or receive interrupt, disable both tx and rx
interrupts, but do not acknowledge them. Schedule a napi poll. Don't
loop.
- When we are polled, read IEVENT, acknowledging the pending transmit
and receive interrupts, before then going on to process the
appropriate rings.
This allows us to avoid the race, and has a number of other advantages:
- we cut down on the number of transmit interrupts we have to process.
- we only look at the rings which have pending events.
- we gain additional throughput: the iperf total bandwidth increases
from about 180Mbps to 240Mbps:

The commit 96c50caa51 (net: fec: Enable IP header hardware checksum)
enable HW IP header checksum for IPV4 and IPV6, which causes IPV6 TCP/UDP
cannot work. (The issue is reported by Russell King)
For FEC IP header checksum function: Insert IP header checksum. This "IINS"
bit is written by the user. If set, IP accelerator calculates the IP header
checksum and overwrites the IINS corresponding header field with the calculated
value. The checksum field must be cleared by user, otherwise the checksum
always is 0xFFFF.
So the previous patch clear IP header checksum field regardless of IP frame
type.
In fact, IP HW detect the packet as IPV6 type, even if the "IINS" bit is set,
the IP accelerator is not triggered to calculates IPV6 header checksum because
IPV6 frame format don't have checksum.
So this results in the IPV6 frame being corrupted.
The patch just add software detect the current packet type, if it is IPV6
frame, it don't clear IP header checksum field.

Add software TSO support for FEC.
This feature allows to improve outbound throughput performance.
Tested on imx6dl sabresd board, running iperf tcp tests shows:
- 16.2% improvement comparing with FEC SG patch
- 82% improvement comparing with NO SG & TSO patch
$ ethtool -K eth0 tso on
$ iperf -c 10.192.242.167 -t 3 &
[ 3] local 10.192.242.108 port 35388 connected with 10.192.242.167 port 5001
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 3] 0.0- 3.0 sec 181 MBytes 506 Mbits/sec
During the testing, CPU loading is 30%.
Since imx6dl FEC Bandwidth is limited to SOC system bus bandwidth, the
performance with SW TSO is a milestone.

In order to support SG, software TSO, let's increase BD entry number.

IP header checksum is calcalated by network layer in default.
To support software TSO, it is better to use HW calculate the
IP header checksum.
FEC hw checksum feature request the checksum field in frame
is zero, otherwise the calculative CRC is not correct.
For segmentated TCP packet, HW calculate the IP header checksum again,
it doesn't bring any impact. For SW TSO, HW calculated checksum bring
better performance.

Make the code more readable and easy to support other features like
SG, TSO, moving the common transmit function to one api.
And the patch also factorize the getting BD index to it own function.
