[PATCH net-next v3 0/8] net: stmmac: Add Allwinner A20 GMAC ethernet

Hi,

This is v3 of the  Allwinner A20 GMAC glue layer for stmmac.
I have split the series into stmmac driver changes for net-next,
and clock and DT patches for their respective trees.


The Allwinner A20 SoC integrates an early version of dwmac
IP from Synopsys. On top of that is a hardware glue layer.
This layer needs to be configured before the dwmac can be
used.

Part of the glue layer is a clock mux, which controls the
source and direction of the TX clock used by GMAC.

The glue layer is implemented with existing feature flags 
and callbacks found in stmmac driver core. A new stmmac_of_data
structure, which is a subset of the original platform data,
has been added to tie these values with compatible strings.
The purpose of this is to avoid future glue layers assuming
they can pass other data or directly modify values used by
the driver core. This is found in patch #7.

The callbacks have also been extended to pass board specific
data. This is found in patch #3.

This version of dwmac IP requires store and forward DMA mode.
The relevant device tree property was documented, but not
implemented. Patch #6 adds this to stmmac platform driver.

Changes since v2:

  * Dropped non CONFIG_RESET_CONTROLLER routines, make stmmac
    select CONFIG_RESET_CONTROLLER
  * Split out "Deprecate snps,phy-addr and auto-detect PHY address"
    from "Use driver data and callbacks tied with compatible strings"
  * Added comments on how sunxi glue layer uses GMAC clock
  * Rebased onto net-next
  * Corrected typo in blackfin commit message

Changes since v1:

  * Added optional reset control to stmmac driver core
  * Added non CONFIG_RESET_CONROLLER routines for the above change
  * Extended callback API, as discussed with Srinivas
  * Used new stmmac_of_data to pass features and callbacks,
    instead of platform data, as discussed
  * Seperated clock module glue layer into clock driver


Cheers,
ChenYu
