This patch series adds support for More Than IP's L2 switch driver embedded
in some NXP's SoCs. This one has been tested on imx287, but is also available
in the vf610.

In the past there has been performed some attempts to upstream this driver:

1. The 4.19-cip based one [1]
2. DSA based one for 5.12 [2] - i.e. the switch itself was treat as a DSA switch
   with NO tag appended.
3. The extension for FEC driver for 5.12 [3] - the trick here was to fully reuse
   FEC when the in-HW switching is disabled. When bridge offloading is enabled,
   the driver uses already configured MAC and PHY to also configure PHY.

All three approaches were not accepted as eligible for upstreaming.

The driver from this series has floowing features:

1. It is fully separated from fec_main - i.e. can be used interchangeable
   with it. To be more specific - one can build them as modules and
   if required switch between them when e.g. bridge offloading is required.

   To be more specific:
        - Use FEC_MAIN: When one needs support for two ETH ports with separate
          uDMAs used for both and bridging can be realized in SW.

        - Use MTIPL2SW: When it is enough to support two ports with only uDMA0
          attached to switch and bridging shall be offloaded to HW. 

2. This driver uses MTIP's L2 switch internal VLAN feature to provide port
   separation at boot time. Port separation is disabled when bridging is
   required.

3. Example usage:
        Configuration:
        ip link set lan0 up; sleep 1;
        ip link set lan1 up; sleep 1;
        ip link add name br0 type bridge;
        ip link set br0 up; sleep 1;
        ip link set lan0 master br0;
        ip link set lan1 master br0;
        bridge link;
        ip addr add 192.168.2.17/24 dev br0;
        ping -c 5 192.168.2.222

        Removal:
        ip link set br0 down;
        ip link delete br0 type bridge;
        ip link set dev lan1 down
        ip link set dev lan0 down

4. Limitations:
        - Driver enables and disables switch operation with learning and ageing.
        - Missing is the advanced configuration (e.g. adding entries to FBD). This is
          on purpose, as up till now we didn't had consensus about how the driver
          shall be added to Linux.

5. Clang build:
	make LLVM_SUFFIX=-19 LLVM=1 mrproper
	cp ./arch/arm/configs/mxs_defconfig .config
	make ARCH=arm LLVM_SUFFIX=-19 LLVM=1 W=1 menuconfig
	make ARCH=arm LLVM_SUFFIX=-19 LLVM=1 W=1 -j8 LOADADDR=0x40008000 uImage dtbs

        make LLVM_SUFFIX=-19 LLVM=1 mrproper
        make LLVM_SUFFIX=-19 LLVM=1 allmodconfig
        make LLVM_SUFFIX=-19 LLVM=1 W=1 drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/mtipsw/ | tee llvm_build.log
        make LLVM_SUFFIX=-19 LLVM=1 W=1 -j8 | tee llvm_build.log

6. Kernel compliance checks:
	make coccicheck MODE=report J=4 M=drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/mtipsw/
	~/work/src/smatch/smatch_scripts/kchecker drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/mtipsw/

7. GCC
        make mrproper
        make allmodconfig
        make W=1 drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/mtipsw/
