On the Pinebook Pro the headphone jack is dual use. It can be used either
as a normal headphone jack or as a debug serial connection. This
functionality is controlled via a small hardware switch on the mainboard.
Unfortunately flipping this switch biases the headphone detection switch
inside the headphone jack at 3.3 V if in `debug UART` position but
to GND when in `headphone out` position.
This results in an inversion of the headphone detection logic depending
on the switch position.
Since the headphone jack can only be used for audio when in
`headphone out` position this commit changes the headphone detect GPIO
logic to be correct for that case rather than for the debug UART.

Each ENETC station interface (SI) has a VLAN filter list and a port
flag (PSIPVMR) by which it can be put in "VLAN promiscuous" mode, which
enables the reception of VLAN-tagged traffic even if it is not in the
VLAN filtering list.
Currently the handling of this setting works like this: the port starts
off as VLAN promiscuous, then it switches to enabling VLAN filtering as
soon as the first VLAN is installed in its filter via
.ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid. In practice that does not work out very well,
because more often than not, the first VLAN to be installed is out of
the control of the user: the 8021q module, if loaded, adds its rule for
802.1p (VID 0) traffic upon bringing the interface up.
What the user is currently seeing in ethtool is this:
ethtool -k eno2
rx-vlan-filter: on [fixed]
which doesn't match the intention of the code, but the practical reality
of having the 8021q module install its VID which has the side-effect of
turning on VLAN filtering in this driver. All in all, a slightly
confusing experience.
So instead of letting this driver switch the VLAN filtering state by
itself, just wire it up with the rx-vlan-filter feature from ethtool,
and let it be user-configurable just through that knob, except for one
case, see below.
In promiscuous mode, it is more intuitive that all traffic is received,
including VLAN tagged traffic. It appears that it is necessary to set
the flag in PSIPVMR for that to be the case, so VLAN promiscuous mode is
also temporarily enabled. On exit from promiscuous mode, the setting
made by ethtool is restored.

By default, the VCAP IS2 will produce a single match for each frame, on
the most specific classification.
Example: a ping packet (ICMP over IPv4 over Ethernet) sent from an IP
address of 10.0.0.1 and a MAC address of 96:18:82:00:04:01 will match
this rule:
tc filter add dev swp0 ingress protocol ipv4 \
flower skip_sw src_ip 10.0.0.1 action drop
but not this one:
tc filter add dev swp0 ingress \
flower skip_sw src_mac 96:18:82:00:04:01 action drop
Currently the driver does not really warn the user in any way about
this, and the behavior is rather strange anyway.
The current patch is a workaround to force matches on MAC_ETYPE keys
(DMAC and SMAC) for all packets irrespective of higher layer protocol.
The setting is made at the port level.
Of course this breaks all other non-src_mac and non-dst_mac matches, so
rule exclusivity checks have been added to the driver, in order to never
have rules of both types on any ingress port.
The bits that discard higher-level protocol information are set only
once a MAC_ETYPE rule is added to a filter block, and only for the ports
that are bound to that filter block. Then all further non-MAC_ETYPE
rules added to that filter block should be denied by the ports bound to
it.

This patch makes it impossible that cmpri or cmpre values are set to the
value 16 which is not possible, because these are 4 bit values. We
currently run in an overflow when assigning the value 16 to it.
According to the standard a value of 16 can be interpreted as a full
elided address which isn't possible to set as compression value. A reason
why this cannot be set is that the current ipv6 header destination address
should never show up inside the segments of the rpl header. In this case we
run in a overflow and the address will have no compression at all. Means
cmpri or compre is set to 0.
As we handle cmpri and cmpre sometimes as unsigned char or 4 bit value
inside the rpl header the current behaviour ends in an invalid header
format. This patch simple use the best compression method if we ever run
into the case that the destination address is showed up inside the rpl
segments. We avoid the overflow handling and the rpl header is still valid,
even when we have the destination address inside the rpl segments.

In fine adjustement mode, which is the current default, the sub-second
increment register is the number of nanoseconds that will be added to
the clock when the accumulator overflows. At each clock cycle, the
value of the addend register is added to the accumulator.
Currently, we use 20ns = 1e09ns / 50MHz as this value whatever the
frequency of the ptp clock actually is.
The adjustment is then done on the addend register, only incrementing
every X clock cycles X being the ratio between 50MHz and ptp_clock_rate
(addend = 2^32 * 50MHz/ptp_clock_rate).
This causes the following issues :
- In case the frequency of the ptp clock is inferior or equal to 50MHz,
the addend value calculation will overflow and the default
addend value will be set to 0, causing the clock to not work at
all. (For instance, for ptp_clock_rate = 50MHz, addend = 2^32).
- The resolution of the timestamping clock is limited to 20ns while it
is not needed, thus limiting the accuracy of the timestamping to
20ns.
Fix this by setting sub-second increment to 2e09ns / ptp_clock_rate.
It will allow to reach the minimum possible frequency for
ptp_clk_ref, which is 5MHz for GMII 1000Mps Full-Duplex by setting the
sub-second-increment to a higher value. For instance, for 25MHz, it
gives ssinc = 80ns and default_addend = 2^31.
It will also allow to use a lower value for sub-second-increment, thus
improving the timestamping accuracy with frequencies higher than
100MHz, for instance, for 200MHz, ssinc = 10ns and default_addend =
2^31.
v1->v2:
- Remove modifications to the calculation of default addend, which broke
compatibility with clock frequencies for which 2000000000 / ptp_clk_freq
is not an integer.
- Modify description according to discussions.

There are 2 registers to write to enable a ptp ref clock coming from the
fpga.
One that enables the usage of the clock from the fpga for emac0 and emac1
as a ptp ref clock, and the other to allow signals from the fpga to reach
emac0 and emac1.
Currently, if the dwmac-socfpga has phymode set to PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_MII,
PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_GMII, or PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_SGMII, both registers will
be written and the ptp ref clock will be set as coming from the fpga.
Separate the 2 register writes to only enable signals from the fpga to
reach emac0 or emac1 when ptp ref clock is not coming from the fpga.

[3] commit 7649773293 ("cxgb3/l2t: Fix undefined behaviour")
Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
