Marcin Wojtas 2636ac3cc2 net: mvneta: Add network support for Armada 3700 SoC
Armada 3700 is a new ARMv8 SoC from Marvell using same network controller
as older Armada 370/38x/XP. There are however some differences that
needed taking into account when adding support for it:

* open default MBUS window to 4GB of DRAM - Armada 3700 SoC's Mbus
  configuration for network controller has to be done on two levels:
  global and per-port. The first one is inherited from the
  bootloader. The latter can be opened in a default way, leaving
  arbitration to the bus controller.  Hence filled mbus_dram_target_info
  structure is not needed

* make per-CPU operation optional - Recent patches adding RSS and XPS
  support for Armada 38x/XP enabled per-CPU operation of the controller
  by default. Contrary to older SoC's Armada 3700 SoC's network
  controller is not capable of per-CPU processing due to interrupt lines'
  connectivity.  This patch restores non-per-CPU operation, which is now
  optional and depends on neta_armada3700 flag value in mvneta_port
  structure. In order not to complicate the code, separate interrupt
  subroutine is implemented.

For now, on the Armada 3700, RSS is disabled as the current
implementation depend on the per cpu interrupts.

[gregory.clement@free-electrons.com: extract from a larger patch, replace
some ifdef and port to net-next for v4.10]

* Marvell Armada 370 / Armada XP / Armada 3700 Ethernet Controller (NETA)
Required properties:
- compatible: could be one of the followings
"marvell,armada-370-neta"
"marvell,armada-xp-neta"
"marvell,armada-3700-neta"
- reg: address and length of the register set for the device.
- interrupts: interrupt for the device
- phy: See ethernet.txt file in the same directory.
- phy-mode: See ethernet.txt file in the same directory
- clocks: List of clocks for this device. At least one clock is
mandatory for the core clock. If several clocks are given, then the
clock-names property must be used to identify them.
Optional properties:
- tx-csum-limit: maximum mtu supported by port that allow TX checksum.
Value is presented in bytes. If not used, by default 1600B is set for
"marvell,armada-370-neta" and 9800B for others.
- clock-names: List of names corresponding to clocks property; shall be
"core" for core clock and "bus" for the optional bus clock.
Optional properties (valid only for Armada XP/38x):
- buffer-manager: a phandle to a buffer manager node. Please refer to
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/marvell-neta-bm.txt
- bm,pool-long: ID of a pool, that will accept all packets of a size
higher than 'short' pool's threshold (if set) and up to MTU value.
Obligatory, when the port is supposed to use hardware
buffer management.
- bm,pool-short: ID of a pool, that will be used for accepting
packets of a size lower than given threshold. If not set, the port
will use a single 'long' pool for all packets, as defined above.
Example:
ethernet@70000 {
compatible = "marvell,armada-370-neta";
reg = <0x70000 0x2500>;
interrupts = <8>;
clocks = <&gate_clk 4>;
tx-csum-limit = <9800>
status = "okay";
phy = <&phy0>;
phy-mode = "rgmii-id";
buffer-manager = <&bm>;
bm,pool-long = <0>;
bm,pool-short = <1>;
};
