[PATCH net-next v2 0/5] net: ipqess: introduce Qualcomm IPQESS driver

Hello everyone,

This is the 2nd iteration of a series that introduces a new driver, for
the Qualcomm IPQESS Ethernet Controller, found on the IPQ4019.

Notables changes on V2 :
- Put the DSA tag in the skb itself instead of using skb->shinfo
- Fixed the initialisation sequence based on Andrew's comments
- Reworked the error paths in the init sequence
- Add support for the clock and reset lines on that controller
- Fixed and updated the binding

The driver itself is pretty straightforward, but has lived out-of-tree
for a while. I've done my best to clean-up some outdated API calls, but
some might remain.

This controller is somewhat special, since it's part of the IPQ4019 SoC
which also includes an QCA8K switch, and uses the IPQESS controller for
the CPU port. The switch is so tightly intergrated with the MAC that it
is connected to the MAC using an internal link (hence the fact that we
only support PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_INTERNAL), and this has some
consequences on the DSA side.

The tagging for the switch isn't done inband as most switch do, but
out-of-band, the DSA tag being included in the DMA descriptor.

This series includes a new out-of-band tagger that uses the skb headroom
to convey the tag between the tagger and the MAC driver.

Thanks to the Sartura folks who worked on a base version of this driver,
and provided test hardware.

Best regards,

Maxime Chevallier
