Marcin Wojtas a75edc7c2e net: mvpp2: enable ACPI support in the driver
This patch introduces an alternative way of obtaining resources - via
ACPI tables provided by firmware. Enabling coexistence with the DT
support, in addition to the OF_*->device_*/fwnode_* API replacement,
required following steps to be taken:

* Add mvpp2_acpi_match table
* Omit clock configuration and obtain tclk from the property - in ACPI
  world, the firmware is responsible for clock maintenance.
* Disable comphy and syscon handling as they are not available for ACPI.
* Modify way of obtaining interrupts - use newly introduced
  fwnode_irq_get() routine
* Until proper MDIO bus and PHY handling with ACPI is established in the
  kernel, use only link interrupts feature in the driver. For the RGMII
  port it results in depending on GMAC settings done during firmware
  stage.
* When booting with ACPI MVPP2_QDIST_MULTI_MODE is picked by
  default, as there is no need to keep any kind of the backward
  compatibility.

Moreover, a memory region used by mvmdio driver is usually placed in
the middle of the address space of the PP2 network controller.
The MDIO base address is obtained without requesting memory region
(by devm_ioremap() call) in mvmdio.c, later overlapping resources are
requested by the network driver, which is responsible for avoiding
a concurrent access.

In case the MDIO memory region is declared in the ACPI, it can
already appear as 'in-use' in the OS. Because it is overlapped by second
region of the network controller, make sure it is released, before
requesting it again. The care is taken by mvpp2 driver to avoid
concurrent access to this memory region.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
