f1590670ce stmmac: troubleshoot unexpected bits in des0 & des1
Current implementation of descriptor init procedure only takes
care about setting/clearing ownership flag in "des0"/"des1"
fields while it is perfectly possible to get unexpected bits
set because of the following factors:

 [1] On driver probe underlying memory allocated with
     dma_alloc_coherent() might not be zeroed and so
     it will be filled with garbage.

 [2] During driver operation some bits could be set by SD/MMC
     controller (for example error flags etc).

And unexpected and/or randomly set flags in "des0"/"des1"
fields may lead to unpredictable behavior of GMAC DMA block.

This change addresses both items above with:

 [1] Use of dma_zalloc_coherent() instead of simple
     dma_alloc_coherent() to make sure allocated memory is
     zeroed. That shouldn't affect performance because
     this allocation only happens once on driver probe.

 [2] Do explicit zeroing of both "des0" and "des1" fields
     of all buffer descriptors during initialization of
     DMA transfer.

And while at it fixed identation of dma_free_coherent()
counterpart as well.

ceb694997e stmmac: code tidy-up
This patch tidies up the code. I have run Linden (and verified with checkpatch)
many part of the driver trying to reorganize some sections respecting the
codying-style rules in the points where it was not done.

c24602ef86 stmmac: support extend descriptors
This patch is to support the extend descriptors available
in the chips newer than the 3.50.

In case of the extend descriptors cannot be supported,
at runtime, the driver will continue to work using the old style.

In detail, this support extends the main descriptor structure
adding new descriptors: 4, 5, 6, 7. The desc4 gives us extra
information about the received ethernet payload when it is
carrying PTP packets or TCP/UDP/ICMP over IP packets.
The descriptors 6 and 7 are used for saving HW L/H timestamps (PTP).

V2: this new version removes the Koption added in the first implementation
because all the checks now to verify if the extended descriptors are
actually supported happen at probe time.

3c20f72f91 stmmac: update normal descriptor structure (v2)
This patch updates the normal descriptor structure
to work fine on new GMAC Synopsys chips.

Normal descriptors were designed on the old MAC10/100
databook 1.91 where some bits were reserved: for example
the tx checksum insertion and rx checksum offload.

The patch maintains the back-compatibility with old
MAC devices (tested on STx7109 MAC10/100) and adds new
fields that actually new GMAC devices can use.

For example, STx7109 (MAC10/100) will pass from the platform
  tx_coe = 0, enh_desc = 0, has_gmac = 0.
A platform like Loongson1B (GMAC) will pass:
  tx_coe = 1, enh_desc = 0, has_gmac = 1.

Thanks to Kelvin, he enhanced the normal descriptors for
GMAC (on MIPS Loongson1B platform).
