Microsemi Ocelot Ethernet switch support

This series adds initial support for the Microsemi Ethernet switch
present on Ocelot SoCs.

This only has bridging (and STP) support for now and it uses the
switchdev framework.
Coming features are VLAN filtering, link aggregation, IGMP snooping.

The switch can also be connected to an external CPU using PCIe.

Also, support for integration on other SoCs will be submitted.

The ocelot dts changes are here for reference and should probably go
through the MIPS tree once the bindings are accepted.

Changes in v3:
 - Collected Reviewed-by
 * Switchdev driver:
   - Fixed two issues reported by kbuild
   - Modified ethtool statistics to support different layoiut on different chips and take care of counter overflow

Changes in v2:
 - Dropped Microsemi Ocelot PHY support
 * MIIM driver:
   - Documented interrupts bindings
   - Moved the driver to drivers/net/phy/
   - Removed unused mutex
   - Removed MDIO bus scanning
 * Switchdev driver:
   - Changed compatible to mscc,vsc7514-switch
   - Removed unused header inclusion
   - Factorized MAC table selection in ocelot_mact_select()
   - Disable the port in ocelot_port_stop()
   - Fixed the smatch endianness warnings
   - int to unsinged int where necessary
   - Removed VID handling for the FDB it has been reworked anyway and will be
     submitted with VLAN support
   - Fixed up unused cases in ocelot_port_attr_set()
   - Added a loop to register all the IO register spaces
   - the ports are now in an ethernet-ports node

I've tried switching to NAPI but this is not working well, mainly because the
only way to disable interrupts is to actually mask them in the interrupt
controller (it is not possible to tell the switch to stop generating
interrupts).

Add a driver for Microsemi Ocelot Ethernet switch support.

This makes two modules:
mscc_ocelot_common handles all the common features that doesn't depend on
how the switch is integrated in the SoC. Currently, it handles offloading
bridging to the hardware. ocelot_io.c handles register accesses. This is
unfortunately needed because the register layout is packed and then depends
on the number of ports available on the switch. The register definition
files are automatically generated.

ocelot_board handles the switch integration on the SoC and on the board.

Frame injection and extraction to/from the CPU port is currently done using
register accesses which is quite slow. DMA is possible but the port is not
able to absorb the whole switch bandwidth.

Currently, when the rule is not to be exclusively executed by the
hardware, extack is not passed along and offloading failures don't
get logged. The idea was that hardware failures are okay because the
rule will get executed in software then and this way it doesn't confuse
unware users.

But this is not helpful in case one needs to understand why a certain
rule failed to get offloaded. Considering it may have been a temporary
failure, like resources exceeded or so, reproducing it later and knowing
that it is triggering the same reason may be challenging.

The ultimate goal is to improve Open vSwitch debuggability when using
flower offloading.

This patch adds a new flag to enable verbose logging. With the flag set,
extack will be passed to the driver, which will be able to log the
error. As the operation itself probably won't fail (not because of this,
at least), current iproute will already log it as a Warning.

The flag is generic, so it can be reused later. No need to restrict it
just for HW offloading. The command line will follow the syntax that
tc-ebpf already uses, tc ... [ verbose ] ... , and extend its meaning.

For example:
# ./tc qdisc add dev p7p1 ingress
# ./tc filter add dev p7p1 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 1 \
	flower verbose \
	src_mac ed:13:db:00:00:00 dst_mac 01:80:c2:00:00:d0 \

net: stmmac: dwmac-sun8i: Support R40

This is a resend of the patches for net-next split out from my R40
Ethernet support v2 series, as requested by David Miller. The arm-soc
bits will follow, once I rework the A64 system controller compatible.

Patches 1, 2, and 3 clean up the dwmac-sun8i binding.

Patch 4 adds device tree binding for Allwinner R40's Ethernet
controller.

Patch 5 converts regmap access of the syscon region in the dwmac-sun8i
driver to regmap_field, in anticipation of different field widths on
the R40.

Patch 6 introduces custom plumbing in the dwmac-sun8i driver to fetch
a regmap from another device, by looking up said device via a phandle,
then getting the regmap associated with that device.

Patch 7 adds support for different or absent TX/RX delay chain ranges
to the dwmac-sun8i driver.

Patch 8 adds support for the R40's ethernet controller.

Excerpt from original cover letter:

Changes since v1:

  - Default to fetching regmap from device pointed to by syscon phandle,
    and falling back to syscon API if that fails.

  - Dropped .syscon_from_dev field in device data as a result of the
    previous change.

  - Added a large comment block explaining the first change.

  - Simplified description of syscon property in sun8i-dwmac binding.

  - Regmap now only exposes the EMAC/GMAC register, but retains the
    offset within its address space.

  - Added patches for A64, which reuse the same sun8i-dwmac changes.

This series adds support for the DWMAC based Ethernet controller found
on the Allwinner R40 SoC. The controller is either a DWMAC clone or
DWMAC core with its registers rearranged. This is already supported by
the dwmac-sun8i driver. The glue layer control registers, unlike other
sun8i family SoCs, is not in the system controller region, but in the
clock control unit, like with the older A20 and A31 SoCs.

While we reuse the bindings for dwmac-sun8i using a syscon phandle
reference, we need some custom plumbing for the clock driver to export
a regmap that only allows access to the GMAC register to the dwmac-sun8i
driver. An alternative would be to allow drivers to register custom
syscon devices with their own regmap and locking.

On the Allwinner R40 SoC, the "GMAC clock" register is in the CCU
address space. Using a standard syscon to access it provides no
coordination with the CCU driver for register access. Neither does
it prevent this and other drivers from accessing other, maybe critical,
clock control registers. On other SoCs, the register is in the "system
control" address space, which might also contain controls for mapping
SRAM to devices or the CPU. This hardware has the same issues.

Instead, for these types of setups, we let the device containing the
control register create a regmap tied to it. We can then get the device
from the existing syscon phandle, and retrieve the regmap with
dev_get_regmap().

On the Allwinner R40, the "GMAC clock" register is located in the CCU
block, at a different register address than the other SoCs that have
it in the "system control" block.

This patch converts the use of regmap to regmap_field for mapping and
accessing the syscon register, so we can have the register address in
the variants data, and not in the actual register manipulation code.

This patch only converts regmap_read() and regmap_write() calls to
regmap_field_read() and regmap_field_write() calls. There are some
places where it might make sense to switch to regmap_field_update_bits(),
but this is not done here to keep the patch simple.

kernel: add support to collect hardware logs in crash recovery kernel

On production servers running variety of workloads over time, kernel
panic can happen sporadically after days or even months. It is
important to collect as much debug logs as possible to root cause
and fix the problem, that may not be easy to reproduce. Snapshot of
underlying hardware/firmware state (like register dump, firmware
logs, adapter memory, etc.), at the time of kernel panic will be very
helpful while debugging the culprit device driver.

This series of patches add new generic framework that enable device
drivers to collect device specific snapshot of the hardware/firmware
state of the underlying device in the crash recovery kernel. In crash
recovery kernel, the collected logs are added as elf notes to
/proc/vmcore, which is copied by user space scripts for post-analysis.

The sequence of actions done by device drivers to append their device
specific hardware/firmware logs to /proc/vmcore are as follows:

1. During probe (before hardware is initialized), device drivers
register to the vmcore module (via vmcore_add_device_dump()), with
callback function, along with buffer size and log name needed for
firmware/hardware log collection.

2. vmcore module allocates the buffer with requested size. It adds
an elf note and invokes the device driver's registered callback
function.

3. Device driver collects all hardware/firmware logs into the buffer
and returns control back to vmcore module.

The device specific hardware/firmware logs can be seen as elf notes
with note type 0x700, as shown below:

Displaying notes found at file offset 0x00001000 with length 0x040032c0:

be added to /proc/vmcore as elf notes.

Patch 2 updates read and mmap logic to append device specific hardware/

Patch 3 shows a cxgb4 driver example using the API to collect
hardware/firmware logs in crash recovery kernel, before hardware is
initialized.

Thanks,
Rahul

v8:
- Added missing linux/types.h header include.
- Removed __vmcore_add_device_dump().

v7:
- Removed "CHELSIO" vendor identifier in Elf Note name. Instead,
  writing "LINUX".
- Moved vmcoredd_header to new file include/uapi/linux/vmcore.h
- Reworked vmcoredd_header to include Elf Note as part of the header
  itself.
- Removed vmcoredd_get_note_size().
- Renamed vmcoredd_write_note() to vmcoredd_write_header().
- Replaced all "unsigned long" with "unsigned int" for device dump
  size since max size of Elf Word is u32.

v6:
- Reworked device dump elf note name to contain vendor identifier.
- Added vmcoredd_header that precedes actual dump in the Elf Note.
- Device dump's name is moved inside vmcoredd_header.
- Added "CHELSIO" string as vendor identifier in the Elf Note name
  for cxgb4 device dumps.

v5:
- Removed enabling CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE_DEVICE_DUMP by default and
  updated help message.

v4:
- Made __vmcore_add_device_dump() static.
- Moved compile check to define vmcore_add_device_dump() to
  crash_dump.h to fix compilation when vmcore.c is not compiled in.
- Convert ---help--- to help in Kconfig as indicated by checkpatch.
- Rebased to tip.

v3:
- Dropped sysfs crashdd module.
- Exported dumps as elf notes. Suggested by Eric Biederman
  <ebiederm@xmission.com>.  Added as patch 2 in this version.
- Added CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE_DEVICE_DUMP to allow configuring device
  dump support.
- Moved logic related to adding dumps from crashdd to vmcore module.
- Rename all crashdd* to vmcoredd*.
- Updated comments.

v2:
- Added ABI Documentation for crashdd.
- Directly use octal permission instead of macro.

Changes since rfc v2:
- Moved exporting crashdd from procfs to sysfs. Suggested by
  Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>
- Moved code from fs/proc/crashdd.c to fs/crashdd/ directory.
- Replaced all proc API with sysfs API and updated comments.
- Calling driver callback before creating the binary file under
  crashdd sysfs.
- Changed binary dump file permission from S_IRUSR to S_IRUGO.
- Changed module name from CRASH_DRIVER_DUMP to CRASH_DEVICE_DUMP.

rfc v2:
- Collecting logs in 2nd kernel instead of during kernel panic.
  Suggested by Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>.
- Added new crashdd module that exports /proc/crashdd/ containing
  driver's registered hardware/firmware logs in patch 1.
- Replaced the API to allow drivers to register their hardware/firmware
  log collect routine in crash recovery kernel in patch 1.
- Updated patch 2 to use the new API in patch 1.
