This makes the age information for cfg80211 scan results more accurate
and fixes issues with wpa_supplicant dropping "old" scan results (e.g.,
"wlan0: Own scan request started a scan in 0.000456 seconds") that
looked like would have been received before a scan started due to the
inaccuracy of the default timing mechanism for calculating the BSS entry
age. This makes hwsim test cases significantly more robust to run.

Sven Auhagen reports that if he changes a SFP+ module for a SFP module
on the Macchiatobin Single Shot, the link does not come back up. For
Sven, it is as easy as:
- Insert a SFP+ module connected, and use ping6 to verify link is up.
- Remove SFP+ module
- Insert SFP 1000base-X module use ping6 to verify link is up: Link
up event did not trigger and the link is down
but that doesn't show the problem for me. Locally, this has been
reproduced by:
- Boot with no modules.
- Insert SFP+ module, confirm link is up.
- Replace module with 25000base-X module. Confirm link is up.
- Set remote end down, link is reported as dropped at both ends.
- Set remote end up, link is reported up at remote end, but not local
end due to lack of link interrupt.
Fix this by setting up both GMAC and XLG interrupts for port 0, but
only unmasking the appropriate interrupt according to the current mode
set in the mac_config() method. However, only do the mask/unmask
dance when we are really changing the link mode to avoid missing any
link interrupts.

Use the phy_interface_mode_is_8023z() helper for detecting interface
modes that use 802.3z serial encoding. This is equivalent to testing
for both 1000base-X and 2500base-X.

Make MDIO child optional and only instantiate the
MDIO bus if the child is actually present.
There are currently no (in-tree) users of this
binding; all (out-of-tree) users use overlays that
get shipped together with the FPGA images that contain
the IP.
This will significantly increase maintainabilty
of future revisions of this IP.

All users of the fixed_phy_add() pass -1 as GPIO number
to the fixed phy driver, and all users of fixed_phy_register()
pass -1 as GPIO number as well, except for the device
tree MDIO bus.
Any new users should create a proper device and pass the
GPIO as a descriptor associated with the device so delete
the GPIO argument from the calls and drop the code looking
requesting a GPIO in fixed_phy_add().
In fixed phy_register(), investigate the "fixed-link"
node and pick the GPIO descriptor from "link-gpios" if
this property exists. Move the corresponding code out
of of_mdio.c as the fixed phy code anyways requires
OF to be in use.

Add support for the RX checksum offload. This is enabled by default and
may be disabled and re-enabled using 'ethtool':
# ethtool -K eth0 rx off
# ethtool -K eth0 rx on
Some Ether MACs provide a simple checksumming scheme which appears to be
completely compatible with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE: sum of all packet data after
the L2 header is appended to packet data; this may be trivially read by
the driver and used to update the skb accordingly. The same checksumming
scheme is implemented in the EtherAVB MACs and now supported by the 'ravb'
driver.
In terms of performance, throughput is close to gigabit line rate with the
RX checksum offload both enabled and disabled. The 'perf' output, however,
appears to indicate that significantly less time is spent in do_csum() --
this is as expected.

Commit 62e04b7e0e3c ("sh_eth: rename 'sh_eth_cpu_data::hw_crc'") renamed
the field to 'hw_checksum' for the Ether DMAC "intelligent checksum",
however some Ether MACs implement a simpler checksumming scheme, so that
name now seems misleading. Rename that field to 'csmr' as the "intelligent
checksum" is always controlled by the CSMR register.

- Order defines from highest to lowest bit numbers
- correct some typos
- add constant MDIO_AN_TX_VEND_INT_MASK2_LINK

The integrated PHY's of later RTL8168 network chips report the generic
PHYID 0x001cc800 (Realtek OUI, model and revision number both set to
zero) and therefore currently the genphy driver is used.
To be able to use the paged version of e.g. phy_write() we need a
PHY driver with the read_page and write_page callbacks implemented.
So basically make a copy of the genphy driver, just with the
read_page and write_page callbacks being set.

BPF_ALU | BPF_RSH | BPF_K
For BPF_RSH | BPF_K, it could be implemented using NFP direct shift
instruction. For the other BPF_X shifts, NFP indirect shifts sequences need
to be used.
Separate code-gen hook is assigned to each instruction to make the

Shifts by zero do nothing, and should be treated as nops.
Even though compiler is not supposed to generate such instructions and
manual written assembly is unlikely to have them, but they are legal
instructions and have defined behavior.
This patch correct existing shifts code-gen to make sure they do nothing
when shift amount is zero except when the instruction is ALU32 for which
high bits need to be cleared.
For shift amount bigger than type size, already, NFP JIT back-end errors
out for immediate shift and only low 5 bits will be taken into account for
indirect shift which is the same as x86.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo entry[];
};
instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo), GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is
finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at
the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that
array. For example:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo entry[];
};
instance = kvzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo), GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now
use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kvzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
