Hello,

This series extends the current ICSSG-based Ethernet driver to support
AM65x Silicon Revision 1.0 devices.

Notable differences between the Silicon Revisions are that there is
no TX core in SR1.0 with this being handled by the firmware, requiring
extra DMA channels to manage communication with the firmware (with the
firmware being different as well) and in the packet classifier.

The motivation behind it is that a significant number of Siemens
devices containing SR1.0 silicon have been deployed in the field
and need to be supported and updated to newer kernel versions
without losing functionality.

This series is based on TI's 5.10 SDK [1].

The third version of this patch series can be found in [2].

Detailed descriptions of the changes in this series can be found in
each commit's message.

However, in its current form the driver has two problems:
 - Setting the link to 100Mbit/s and half duplex results in slower than
   expected speeds. We have identified that this comes from
   icssg_rgmii_get_fullduplex() misreporting a full duplex connection
   and thus we send the wrong command to the firmware.

 - When using 3 TX channels we observe a timeout on TX queue 0. We have
   made no real progress on this front in identifying the root cause.

For both of these topics help from someone more familiar with the hardware
would be greatly appreciated so that we can support these features rather
than disable them in the final driver version.

This series doesn't break any existing functionality of ICSSG driver on
AM654x SR2.0. The series looks ok to me.

For this series,
