Deepak SIKRI 38912bdbde stmmac: sanitize the rx coe and add the type-1 csum (v2)
This patch sanities the RX coe and adds the Type-1 Rx checksum offload engine (COE).

So the RX COE can be passed through the platform but can be fixed
at run-time in case of the core has the HW capability register.

Also to support the Type-1 Rx COE the driver must append the
HW checksum at the end of payload in case the Rx checksum
engine was used to  offload the HW checksum.

This v2 version also fixes the IPC that has to be enabled and verified.

Giuseppe CAVALLARO 1cc5a73518 stmmac: do not discard frame on dribbling bit assert
If this bit is set and the CRC error is reset, then the packet is valid.
Only report this as stat info.

Giuseppe CAVALLARO 286a837217 stmmac: add CHAINED descriptor mode support (V4)
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).
