Merge branch 'net-mvpp2-MAC-GoP-configuration'
Antoine Tenart says: ==================== net: mvpp2: MAC/GoP configuration This is based on net-next (e2a7c34f ). I removed the GoP interrupt and PHY optional parts in this v2 to ease the review process as the MAC/GoP initialization seemed to start less discussions :) This series now only aims at making the PPv2 driver less depending on the firmware/bootloader initialization. Some patches cleanup some parts as well, and add new interface descriptions in the dt. The current implementation of the PPv2 driver relies on the firmware/bootloader initialization to configure some parts, as the Group of Ports (GoP) and the MACs (GMAC and/or XLG MAC --for 10G--). The drawback is the kernel must be configured to match exactly what the bootloader configures which is not convenient and is an issue when using boards having an Ethernet port and an SFP port wired to the same GoP port, as no dynamic configuration can be done. This series adds the GoP and GMAC/XLG MAC initializations so that the PPV2 does not have to rely on a previous initialization. One part is still missing from this series, and that would be the 'comphy' which provides shared serdes PHYs and which must be configured as well for a full kernel initialization to work. This comphy support will be part of a following up series. (This series was also tested with this 'comphy' support, as it's nearly ready). @Dave: patches 9 and 10 should go through the mvebu tree.
