[net-next,00/13] Support the Cadence MACB/GEM instances on Mobileye EyeQ5 SoCs

Mobileye EyeQ5 SoCs provides two GEM IP blocks. The end result is
working networking on the EyeQ5 eval board. It isn't just a new
macb_config & compatible, here are each commit with a brief note:

 - Let's get the cleanup patches out of the way first:

   [PATCH net-next 04/13] net: macb: use BIT() macro for capability definitions
   [PATCH net-next 06/13] net: macb: simplify macb_probe() code touching match data
   [PATCH net-next 08/13] net: macb: introduce DMA descriptor helpers (is 64bit? is PTP?)
   [PATCH net-next 09/13] net: macb: sort #includes

 - LSO has been observed to be buggy, even though HW reports it is
   supported. We add a capability to force-disable it:

   [PATCH net-next 05/13] net: macb: add no LSO capability (MACB_CAPS_NO_LSO)

 - The MACB driver code has an issue: the HW inserts two dummy bytes at
   the start of Rx buffers, for IP header alignment (ie skb_reserve is
   done AFTER writing the addr in DMA descriptors). But the driver
   assumes that alignment is NET_IP_ALIGN. We appear to be facing the
   first SoC where that isn't the case.

   Happy to get comments & discuss the approach proposed.

   [PATCH net-next 07/13] net: macb: move HW IP alignment value to macb_config

 - We want cache coherent memory through a CM3 IO Coherency Unit (IOCU).
   To route through that, DMA addresses must have BIT(36) enabled.

   We do that in platform-specific code and hook our dma_map_ops through
   a notifier block.

   [PATCH net-next 11/13] MIPS: mobileye: add EyeQ5 DMA IOCU support

 - dt-bindings improvements:

   [PATCH net-next 02/13] dt-bindings: net: cdns,macb: allow tsu_clk without tx_clk
   [PATCH net-next 03/13] dt-bindings: net: cdns,macb: allow dma-coherent

 - Add the hardware to:
    - dt-bindings: new compatible, new phandle property,
    - the driver: macb_config, compatible and a custom init callback
      (that needs a regmap to the system-controller),
    - the DTS: both the SoC GEM instances and the eval board PHYs.

   [PATCH net-next 01/13] dt-bindings: net: cdns,macb: add Mobileye EyeQ5 ethernet interface
   [PATCH net-next 10/13] net: macb: Add "mobileye,eyeq5-gem" compatible
   [PATCH net-next 12/13] MIPS: mobileye: eyeq5: add two Cadence GEM Ethernet controllers
   [PATCH net-next 13/13] MIPS: mobileye: eyeq5-epm: add two Cadence GEM Ethernet PHYs

Have a nice day,
Théo
