138b15ed87 drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO
This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it.  And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.

However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next.  We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.

No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

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.

4b636b535d net: ethernet: update dependency and help text of mvneta
With the introduction of the support for Armada 375 and Armada 38x,
the hidden Kconfig option MACH_ARMADA_370_XP is being renamed to
MACH_MVEBU_V7. Therefore, the dependency that was used for the mvneta
driver can no longer work. This commit replaces this dependency by a
dependency on PLAT_ORION, which is used similarly for the mv643xx_eth
driver.

In addition to this, it takes this opportunity to adjust the
description and help text to indicate that the driver can is also used
for Armada 38x. Note that Armada 375 cannot use this driver as it has
a completely different networking unit, which will require a separate
driver.

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.

The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.

Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.

Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several
of these merge resolutions.

2e0cbf2cc2 net: mvmdio: add select PHYLIB
The mvmdio driver uses the phylib API, so it should select the PHYLIB
symbol, otherwise, a build with mvmdio (but without mvneta) fails to
build with undefined symbols such as mdiobus_unregister, mdiobus_free,
etc.

The mvneta driver does not use the phylib API directly, so it does not
need to select PHYLIB. It already selects the mvmdio driver anyway.

Historically, this problem is due to the fact that the PHY handling
was originally part of mvneta, and was later moved to a separate
driver, without updating the Kconfig select statements
accordingly. And since there was no functional reason to use mvmdio
without mvneta, this case was not tested.

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.

88f07484cc drivers/net/ethernet/*: Enabled vendor Kconfig options
Based on finds for Stephen Rothwell, where current defconfig's
enable a ethernet driver and it is not compiled due to the newly
added NET_VENDOR_* component of Kconfig.

This patch enables all the "new" Kconfig options so that current
defconfig's will continue to compile the expected drivers.  In
addition, by enabling all the new Kconfig options does not add
any un-expected options.
