This patch enhances the stmmac driver to support IEEE 1588-2002
PTP (Precision Time Protocol) version 1 and IEEE 1588-2008 PPT
version 2.
Precision Time Protocol(PTP),which enables precise synchronization
of clocks in measurement and control systems implemented with
technologies such as network communication,local computing,
& distributed objects.
Both PTPv1 and PTPv2 is selected at run-time using the HW capability
register.
The PTPv1 TimeStamp support can be used on chips that have the normal
descriptor structures and PTPv2 TimeStamp support can be used on chips
that have the Extended descriptors(DES4-5-6-7). All such sanity checks
are done and verified by using HW capability register.
V2: in this version the ethtool support has been included in this patch;
Koptions have been completely removed (previously added to select
PTP and PTPv2). PTPv1 and PTPv2 is now added in a single patch instead of
two patches.
get_timestamp() and get_systemtime() L/H have been combined into single APIs.

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.

Previously we had two Koptions to decide if the stmmac
had to use either a ring or a chain to manage its descriptors.
This patch removes the Kernel configuration options and it allow us
to use the chain mode by passing a module option.
Ring mode continues to be the default.
Also with this patch, it will be easier to validate the driver built and
guarantee that all the two modes always compile fine.

This patch sanities the RX coe and adds the Type-1 Rx checksum offload engine (COE).
So the RX COE can be passed through the platform but can be fixed
at run-time in case of the core has the HW capability register.
Also to support the Type-1 Rx COE the driver must append the
HW checksum at the end of payload in case the Rx checksum
engine was used to offload the HW checksum.
This v2 version also fixes the IPC that has to be enabled and verified.

If this bit is set and the CRC error is reset, then the packet is valid.
Only report this as stat info.

This patch enhances the STMMAC driver to support CHAINED mode of
descriptor.
STMMAC supports DMA descriptor to operate both in dual buffer(RING)
and linked-list(CHAINED) mode. In RING mode (default) each descriptor
points to two data buffer pointers whereas in CHAINED mode they point
to only one data buffer pointer.
In CHAINED mode each descriptor will have pointer to next descriptor in
the list, hence creating the explicit chaining in the descriptor itself,
whereas such explicit chaining is not possible in RING mode.
First version of this work has been done by Rayagond.
Then the patch has been reworked avoiding ifdef inside the C code.
A new header file has been added to define all the functions needed for
managing enhanced and normal descriptors.
In fact, these have to be specialized according to the ring/chain usage.
Two new C files have been also added to implement the helper routines
needed to manage: jumbo frames, chain and ring setup (i.e. desc3).

Move the STMicroelectronics driver into driver/net/ethernet/stmicro/ and
make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
