+DPAA2 MAC / PHY support
+=======================
+
+:Copyright: |copy| 2019 NXP
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The DPAA2 MAC / PHY support consists of a set of APIs that help DPAA2 network
+drivers (dpaa2-eth, dpaa2-ethsw) interract with the PHY library.
+
+DPAA2 Software Architecture
+---------------------------
+
+Among other DPAA2 objects, the fsl-mc bus exports DPNI objects (abstracting a
+network interface) and DPMAC objects (abstracting a MAC). The dpaa2-eth driver
+probes on the DPNI object and connects to and configures a DPMAC object with
+the help of phylink.
+
+Data connections may be established between a DPNI and a DPMAC, or between two
+DPNIs. Depending on the connection type, the netif_carrier_[on/off] is handled
+directly by the dpaa2-eth driver or by phylink.

+ | Internal MDIO bus |
+ +--------------------------------------+
+
+
+Depending on an MC firmware configuration setting, each MAC may be in one of two modes:
+
+- DPMAC_LINK_TYPE_FIXED: the link state management is handled exclusively by
+ the MC firmware by polling the MAC PCS. Without the need to register a
+ phylink instance, the dpaa2-eth driver will not bind to the connected dpmac
+ object at all.
+
+- DPMAC_LINK_TYPE_PHY: The MC firmware is left waiting for link state update
+ events, but those are in fact passed strictly between the dpaa2-mac (based on
+ phylink) and its attached net_device driver (dpaa2-eth, dpaa2-ethsw),
+ effectively bypassing the firmware.
+
+Implementation
+--------------
+
+At probe time or when a DPNI's endpoint is dynamically changed, the dpaa2-eth
+is responsible to find out if the peer object is a DPMAC and if this is the
+case, to integrate it with PHYLINK using the dpaa2_mac_connect() API, which
+will do the following:
+
+ - look up the device tree for PHYLINK-compatible of binding (phy-handle)
+ - will create a PHYLINK instance associated with the received net_device
+ - connect to the PHY using phylink_of_phy_connect()
+
+The following phylink_mac_ops callback are implemented:
+
+ - .validate() will populate the supported linkmodes with the MAC capabilities
+ only when the phy_interface_t is RGMII_* (at the moment, this is the only
+ link type supported by the driver).
+
+ - .mac_config() will configure the MAC in the new configuration using the
+ dpmac_set_link_state() MC firmware API.
+
+ - .mac_link_up() / .mac_link_down() will update the MAC link using the same
+ API described above.
+
+At driver unbind() or when the DPNI object is disconnected from the DPMAC, the
+dpaa2-eth driver calls dpaa2_mac_disconnect() which will, in turn, disconnect
+from the PHY and destroy the PHYLINK instance.
+
+In case of a DPNI-DPMAC connection, an 'ip link set dev eth0 up' would start
+the following sequence of operations:
+
+(1) phylink_start() called from .dev_open().
+(2) The .mac_config() and .mac_link_up() callbacks are called by PHYLINK.
+(3) In order to configure the HW MAC, the MC Firmware API
+ dpmac_set_link_state() is called.
+(4) The firmware will eventually setup the HW MAC in the new configuration.
+(5) A netif_carrier_on() call is made directly from PHYLINK on the associated
+ net_device.
+(6) The dpaa2-eth driver handles the LINK_STATE_CHANGE irq in order to
+ enable/disable Rx taildrop based on the pause frame settings.

+
+In case of a DPNI-DPNI connection, a usual sequence of operations looks like

+(1) ip link set dev eth0 up
+(2) The dpni_enable() MC API called on the associated fsl_mc_device.
+(3) ip link set dev eth1 up
+(4) The dpni_enable() MC API called on the associated fsl_mc_device.
+(5) The LINK_STATE_CHANGED irq is received by both instances of the dpaa2-eth
+ driver because now the operational link state is up.
+(6) The netif_carrier_on() is called on the exported net_device from
+ link_state_update().

+
+
+Exported API
+------------
+
+Any DPAA2 driver that drivers endpoints of DPMAC objects should service its
+_EVENT_ENDPOINT_CHANGED irq and connect/disconnect from the associated DPMAC
+when necessary using the below listed API::
+
+ - int dpaa2_mac_connect(struct dpaa2_mac *mac);
+ - void dpaa2_mac_disconnect(struct dpaa2_mac *mac);
+
+A phylink integration is necessary only when the partner DPMAC is not of TYPE_FIXED.
+One can check for this condition using the below API::
+
+ - bool dpaa2_mac_is_type_fixed(struct fsl_mc_device *dpmac_dev,struct fsl_mc_io *mc_io);
+
+Before connection to a MAC, the caller must allocate and populate the
+dpaa2_mac structure with the associated net_device, a pointer to the MC portal
+to be used and the actual fsl_mc_device structure of the DPMAC.

+So, Ports in promiscuous mode will keep possibility of mcast and vlan filtering,
+which is provides significant benefits when ports are joined to the same bridge,
+but without enabling "switch" mode, or to different bridges.
+ - learning disabled on ports as it make not too much sense for
+ segregated ports - no forwarding in HW.
+ - enabled basic support for devlink.

+# Bridging in dual mac mode
+====================
+The dual_mac mode requires two vids to be reserved for internal purposes,
+which, by default, equal CPSW Port numbers. As result, bridge has to be
+configured in vlan unaware mode or default_pvid has to be adjusted.
+
+ ip link add name br0 type bridge
+ ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 0
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/default_pvid
+ ip link set dev sw0p1 master br0

+ ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
+ ip link set dev sw0p1 master br0
+ ip link set dev sw0p2 master br0
+
+====================
+# Enabling "switch"
+====================
+The Switch mode can be enabled by configuring devlink driver parameter
+"switch_mode" to 1/true:
+ devlink dev param set platform/48484000.switch \
+ name switch_mode value 1 cmode runtime
+
+This can be done regardless of the state of Port's netdev devices - UP/DOWN, but
+Port's netdev devices have to be in UP before joining to the bridge to avoid
+overwriting of bridge configuration as CPSW switch driver copletly reloads its
+configuration when first Port changes its state to UP.
+
+When the both interfaces joined the bridge - CPSW switch driver will enable
+marking packets with offload_fwd_mark flag unless "ale_bypass=0"
+
+All configuration is implemented via switchdev API.
