Hello everyone,

This is the 3rd iteration on the Qualcomm IPQ4019 Ethernet Switch Subsystem
driver. I made some patch separation mistakes in the v2, sorry about that.

Notable changes in v3:
 - Fixed formatting of 3/8.

Notable changes in v2:
 - Refactored the PSGMII calibration procedure to exclude
   PHY-model-specific code from the switch driver. Added two new callbacks
   to the phy_driver struct to enable PHY-agnostic calibration control from
   the MAC driver.
 - Modified the EDMA Ethernet driver to use page_pool for skb handling.
 - Refactored several qca8k-common.c functions to enable calling them from
   the IPQESS driver rather than reimplementing them.

The IPQ4019 SoC integrates a modified version of the QCA8K Ethernet switch.
One major difference with the original switch IP is that port tags are
passed to the integrated Ethernet controller out-of-band.

Previous DSA versions of this driver were rejected because they required
adding out-of-band tagging support to the DSA subsystem. Therefore, we
rewrote the driver as a pure switchdev module, which shares a common
backend library with the current QCA8K driver.

The main driver components are:
 - ipqess_switch.c which registers and configures the integrated switch
 - ipqess_port.c which creates net devices for each one of the front-facing
   ports.
 - ipqess_edma.c which handles the integrated EDMA Ethernet controller
   linked to the CPU port.
 - drivers/net/dsa/qca/qca8k-common.c which defines low-level ESS access
   methods common to this driver and the original DSA QCA8K driver.

Thanks to the people from Sartura for providing us hardware and working on
the base QCA8K driver, and to Maxime for his work on the EDMA code.

Best regards,

Romain
