Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
to generate one. This is was U-Boot does to generate a random MAC so we end
up with the same MAC address as if U-Boot did generate it.

In some cases, the driver must handle given properties located in
specific OF subnode. Instead of creating duplicate set of function, add
'node' as argument to existing functions, defaulting it to device OF node.

configuration from the FDT data, then set the pins into the requested
state. As part of this the gpio controller now reports the correct number
of pins instead of returning the number of bank * 32.
To allow for a future consolidated kernel we add the SOC_ALLWINNER_A10 and
SOC_ALLWINNER_A20 kernel options. These need to be set as appropriate for
the SoC the kernel will boot on.

* Use the Linux compat string
* Use EARLY_DRIVER_MODULE to attach at the right time
* Add a generic A10 kernel config file
* A20 now use generic_timer
* Add two new dts files for Olimex boards
* Update our custom DTS file for A10 and A20 to use the same compatible
property names as the vendor ones.

change to GMAC easier on A20 SoCs.
On A10 only the EMAC controller is available (fast ethernet), but on A20
there is also GMAC a high (or better) performant controller (gigabit
ethernet).
On A20 the both controllers uses the same pins to talk to the ethernet PHY
(MII or RGMII) and they can be selected by the GPIO pin mux.
There is work in progress to bring in GMAC support.
Each TX queue can hold one packet (yes, if_emac can send only two(!)
packets at a time).
Even with this change the very limited FIFO buffer (3 KiB for TX and 13 KiB
for RX) fill up too quick to sustain higher throughput.
For the TCP case it turns out that TX isn't the limiting factor, but the RX
side is (the FIFO fill up and starts to discard packets, so the sender has
to slow down).
Do not strip the ethernet CRC until we read all data from FIFO, otherwise
the CRC bytes would be left in FIFO causing the failure of next packet
(wrong packet header).
When this error happens the receiver has to be disabled and the RX FIFO
flushed, discarding valid packets.
With this fix if_emac behaves a lot better.
It is available mostly in A10 devices like Hackberry, Marsboard,
Mele A1000, A2000, A100 HTPC, cubieboard1 and A20 device
like cubieboard2.
TX performance can be improved using both channels 0 and 1.
RX performance is poor and needs improvement with the assistance of
external DMA controller in case there is bulk TCP receiver.
