The first version of the driver had hard-coded the logic
for handling the checksum offloading.
This was designed according to the chips included in
the STM platforms where:
o MAC10/100 supports no COE at all.
o GMAC fully supports RX/TX COE.
This is not good for other chip configurations where,
for example, the mac10/100 supports the tx csum in HW
or when the GMAC has no IPC.
Thanks to Johannes Stezenbach; he provided me a first
draft of this patch that only reviewed the IPC for the
GMAC devices.
This patch also helps on SPEAr platforms where the
MAC10/100 can perform the TX csum in HW.
Thanks to Deepak SIKRI for his support on this.
In the end, GMAC devices for STM platforms have
a bugged Jumbo frame support that needs to have
the Tx COE disabled for oversized frames (due to
limited buffer sizes). This information is also
passed through the driver's platform structure.

This patch adds the CSR Clock range selection.
Original patch from Johannes Stezenbach fixed the CSR
in the stmmac_mdio. We agreed to provide this through
the platform instead of.
Also thanks to Johannes for having tested it on ARM.

This avoids unnecessary casting and adds the ioaddr in the
private structure.
This patch also removes many warning when compile the driver.

The new enh_desc is used for selecting the enhanced descriptors
structure. There are several scenarios; some chips (mac10/100
or gmac) want to use the enhanced descriptors; others want the normal
ones.
For example, on ST platforms: MAC10/100 uses the normal desc structure
and the GMAC uses the enhanced one.
It can be useful to get this information from the platform.
This could also be decided at run-time looking at the chip's ID number;
but it could happen that chips with the same ID want to use different
descriptor structure.
