The octeon-ethernet driver shares an mdio bus with the octeon-mgmt
driver. Here we convert the octeon-ethernet driver to use the PHY
Abstraction Layer.Signed-off-by: David Daney

Allocate MAC addresses using the same method as the bootloader. This
avoids changing the MAC between bootloader and kernel operation as
well as avoiding duplicates and use of addresses outside of the
assigned range.Signed-off-by: David Daney

In addition to being magic numbers, the irq number passed to free_irq
is incorrect. We need to use the correct symbolic value instead.Signed-off-by: David Daney

If we reach the test just below the loop with a `timeout' value of 0,
this does not mean that the timeout caused the loop to end, but rather
the `smi_rd.s.pending', in the last iteration. If timeout caused the
loop to end, then `timeout' is -1, not 0.Since this can occur only in the last iteration, it is not very likely
to be a problem. By changing the post- to prefix decrement we ensure
that a timeout of 0 does mean it timed out.Signed-off-by: Roel Kluin

No need to put ethtool_ops in data, they should be const.

The existing code had the following race:
Thread-1 Thread-2
inc/read in_use
inc/read in_use
inc tx_free_list[qos].len
inc tx_free_list[qos].lenThe actual in_use value was incremented twice, but thread-1 is going
to free memory based on its stale value, and will free one too many
times. The result is that memory is freed back to the kernel while
its packet is still in the transmit buffer. If the memory is
overwritten before it is transmitted, the hardware will put a valid
checksum on it and send it out (just like it does with good packets).
If by chance the TCP flags are clobbered but not the addresses or
ports, the result can be a broken TCP stream.The fix is to track the number of freed packets in a single location
(a Fetch-and-Add Unit register). That way it can never get out of sync
with itself.We try to free up to MAX_SKB_TO_FREE (currently 10) buffers at a time.
If fewer are available we adjust the free count with the difference.
The action of claiming buffers to free is atomic so two threads cannot
claim the same buffers.Signed-off-by: David Daney

Convert the driver to use net_device_ops as it is now mandatory.
Also compensate for the removal of struct sk_buff's dst field.
The changes are mostly mechanical, the content of ethernet-common.c
was moved to ethernet.c and ethernet-common.{c,h} are removed.Signed-off-by: David Daney

The octeon-ethernet driver supports the sgmii, rgmii, spi, and xaui
ports present on the Cavium OCTEON family of SOCs. These SOCs are
multi-core mips64 processors with existing support over in arch/mips.The driver files can be categorized into three basic groups:
1) Register definitions, these are named cvmx-*-defs.h
2) Main driver code, these have names that don't start cvmx-.
3) Interface specific functions and other utility code, names starting
with cvmx-Signed-off-by: David Daney
