Merge branch 'net-sparx5-prepare-for-lan969x-switch-driver'
Daniel Machon says: ==================== net: sparx5: prepare for lan969x switch driver == Description: This series is the first of a multi-part series, that prepares and adds support for the new lan969x switch driver. The upstreaming efforts is split into multiple series (might change a bit as we go along): 1) Prepare the Sparx5 driver for lan969x (this series) 2) Add support lan969x (same basic features as Sparx5 provides + RGMII, excl. FDMA and VCAP) 3) Add support for lan969x FDMA 4) Add support for lan969x VCAP == Lan969x in short: The lan969x Ethernet switch family [1] provides a rich set of switching features and port configurations (up to 30 ports) from 10Mbps to 10Gbps, with support for RGMII, SGMII, QSGMII, USGMII, and USXGMII, ideal for industrial & process automation infrastructure applications, transport, grid automation, power substation automation, and ring & intra-ring topologies. The LAN969x family is hardware and software compatible and scalable supporting 46Gbps to 102Gbps switch bandwidths. == Preparing Sparx5 for lan969x: The lan969x switch chip reuses many of the IP's of the Sparx5 switch chip, therefore it has been decided to add support through the existing Sparx5 driver, in order to avoid a bunch of duplicate code. However, in order to reuse the Sparx5 switch driver, we have to introduce some mechanisms to handle the chip differences that are there. These mechanisms are: - Platform match data to contain all the differences that needs to be handled (constants, ops etc.) - Register macro indirection layer so that we can reuse the existing register macros. - Function for branching out on platform type where required. In some places we ops out functions and in other places we branch on the chip type. Exactly when we choose one over the other, is an estimate in each case. After this series is applied, the Sparx5 driver will be prepared for lan969x and still function exactly as before. == Patch breakdown: Patch #1 adds private match data Patch #2 adds register macro indirection layer Patch #3-#4 does some preparation work Patch #5-torvalds#7 adds chip constants and updates the code to use them Patch torvalds#8-torvalds#13 adds and uses ops for handling functions differently on the two platforms. Patch torvalds#14 adds and uses a macro for branching out on the chip type. Patch torvalds#15 (NEW) redefines macros for internal ports and PGID's.
