This patch enhances the STMMAC driver to support CHAINED mode of
descriptor.
STMMAC supports DMA descriptor to operate both in dual buffer(RING)
and linked-list(CHAINED) mode. In RING mode (default) each descriptor
points to two data buffer pointers whereas in CHAINED mode they point
to only one data buffer pointer.
In CHAINED mode each descriptor will have pointer to next descriptor in
the list, hence creating the explicit chaining in the descriptor itself,
whereas such explicit chaining is not possible in RING mode.
First version of this work has been done by Rayagond.
Then the patch has been reworked avoiding ifdef inside the C code.
A new header file has been added to define all the functions needed for
managing enhanced and normal descriptors.
In fact, these have to be specialized according to the ring/chain usage.
Two new C files have been also added to implement the helper routines
needed to manage: jumbo frames, chain and ring setup (i.e. desc3).

New GMAC chips have an extra register to indicate
the presence of the optional features/functions of
the DMA core.
This patch adds this support and all the HW cap
are exported via debugfs.

The Synopsys ID is now passed from the MAC core
to the main. This info will be used for managing
the HW cap register (supported in the new GMAC
generations).

This patch adds the MMC management counters support.
MMC module is an extension of the register address
space and all the hardware counters can be accessed
via ethtoo -S ethX.
Note that, the MMC interrupts remain masked and the logic
to handle this kind of interrupt will be added later (if
actually useful).

DWMAC Management Counters (MMC) are not fully support.
The minimal support added in the past allowed to
only disable counters (if present) and mask their
interrupts.
This patch prepares the driver to support the MMC
removing obsolete code.

Move the STMicroelectronics driver into driver/net/ethernet/stmicro/ and
make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
