This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.
However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.
No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

None of those drivers uses last_rx for its own needs.
See 4dc89133f49b8cfd77ba7e83f5960aed63aaa99e ("net: add a comment on
netdev->last_rx") for reference.

The code sets the expiry value of the timer to a relative value and
starts it with hrtimer_start_expires. That's fine, but that only works
once. The timer is started in relative mode, so the expiry value gets
overwritten with the absolut expiry time (now + expiry).
So once the timer expired, a new call to hrtimer_start_expires results
in an immidiately expired timer, because the expiry value is
already in the past.
Use the proper mechanisms to (re)start the timer in the intended way.

The hip04 ethernet driver causes a new compile-time warning
when built as a loadable module:
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hip04_eth.o
see include/linux/module.h for more information
This adds the license as "GPL", which matches the header of the file.

The if block was supposed to have curly braces. In the current code we
complain about dropped rx packets when we shouldn't.

Support Hisilicon hip04 ethernet driver, including 100M / 1000M controller.
The controller has no tx done interrupt, reclaim xmitted buffer in the poll.
v13: Fix the problem of alignment parameters for function and checkpatch warming.
v12: According Alex's suggestion, modify the changelog and add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE
for hip04 ethernet.
v11: Add ethtool support for tx coalecse getting and setting, the xmit_more
is not supported for this patch, but I think it could work for hip04,
will support it later after some tests for performance better.
Here are some performance test results by ping and iperf(add tx_coalesce_frames/users),
it looks that the performance and latency is more better by tx_coalesce_frames/usecs.
- Before:
$ ping 192.168.1.1 ...
=== 192.168.1.1 ping statistics ===
24 packets transmitted, 24 received, 0% packet loss, time 22999ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.180/0.202/0.403/0.043 ms
$ iperf -c 192.168.1.1 ...
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 3] 0.0- 1.0 sec 115 MBytes 945 Mbits/sec
- After:
$ ping 192.168.1.1 ...
=== 192.168.1.1 ping statistics ===
24 packets transmitted, 24 received, 0% packet loss, time 22999ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.178/0.190/0.380/0.041 ms
$ iperf -c 192.168.1.1 ...
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 3] 0.0- 1.0 sec 115 MBytes 965 Mbits/sec
v10: According David Miller and Arnd Bergmann's suggestion, add some modification
for v9 version
- drop the workqueue
- batch cleanup based on tx_coalesce_frames/usecs for better throughput
- use a reasonable default tx timeout (200us, could be shorted
based on measurements) with a range timer
- fix napi poll function return value
- use a lockless queue for cleanup

Add support for the hix5hd2 XGMAC 1Gb ethernet device.
The controller requires two queues for tx and two queues for rx.
Controller fetch buffer from free queue and then push to used queue.
Diver should prepare free queue and free buffer from used queue.
