- Fix RX and TX teardown:
. TX teardown would not reclaim the abandoned descriptors;
. Interrupt storms in RX teardown;
. Fixed the acknowledge of the teardown completion interrupt.
- Remove temporary lists for the descriptors;
- Simplified the descriptor handling (less writes and reads from
descriptors where possible);
- Better debug;
- Add support for the RX threshold interrupts:
With interrupt moderation only, an RX overrun is likely to happen. The
RX threshold is set to trigger a non paced interrupt everytime your RX
free buffers are under the minimum threshold, helping to prevent the rx
overrun.
The NIC now survive when pushed over its limits (where previously it would
lock up in a few seconds).
uFW (600MHz SoC) can now forward up to 560Mb/s of UDP traffic (netmap
pkt-gen as source and sink). TCP forwarding rate is over 350Mb/s.
No difference (other than CPU use) was seen on Beaglebone black (1GHz SoC)
for his fast ethernet.

The hardware can be set to limit the number of interrupts from 2 to 63
interrupts per ms.
To keep the compatibility with the TI documentation the sysctl take the
interval between the interrupts pulses: 16~500 us.

Sometimes the software loses the race when appending more descriptors to
the tx ring and the tx queue stops.
This commit detects this condition and restart the tx queue whenever it stall.

In dual emac mode, the CPSW subsystem provides two independent ethernets.
This is implemented (as recommended by TI's TRM) with a mixture of switch
settings (vlans) and specific features of CPSW subsystem.
The driver was splitted to accommodate the shared parts (RX and TX rings
for example) while it still provides two independent ethernets.
Each of the ethernet ports driver has it's own set of MDIO registers among
the other private settings.
Previously this driver always operate in promisc mode, now the Switch ALE
(address table entry) is properly initialized and enabled.
The driver is also tested (and known to work) with both ports operating in
single port mode (active_slave 0 or 1).
Tested on uBMC (dual emac mode, both ports in single mode, giga and fast
ethernet) and BBB (single port, fast ethernet).

files to vendor-provided ones. It should make easier to adopt platform
code to new revisions of hardware and to use DTS overlays for various
Beaglebone extensions (shields/capes).
Original dts filenames were not changed, they're now wrappers over dts
files provided by TI. So make sure you update .dtb files on your
devices as part of kernel update
GPIO addressing was changed: instead of one global /dev/gpioc0 there
are per-bank instances of /dev/gpiocX. Each bank has 32 pins so for
instance pin 121 on /dev/gpioc0 in old addressing scheme is now pin 25
on /dev/gpioc3
On Pandaboard serial console devices was changed from /dev/ttyu0 to
/dev/ttyu2 so you'll have to update /etc/ttys to get login prompt
on serial port in multiuser mode. Single user mode serial console
should work as-is

Major changes:
* Finally tracked down the flow control setting that
seems to have been causing TX stalls and watchdog timeouts
* RX and TX paths now share a lot more code
* TX interrupt is no longer used; we instead GC finished
tx queue entries at the bottom of the start routine.
* TX start now queues fragmented packets directly; it only
invokes defrag() for occasional very fragmented packets.
* "sysctl dev.cpsw" dumps controller statistics and queue counts
* Host Error Interrupt will give extensive debugging information
if the controller chokes on the queued data.
TX stalls in this driver, I've also had some
time to evaluate the effectiveness of different
watchdog strategies.
This is the latest attempt, which consolidates
all of the watchdog logic in one place and
consistently detects TX stalls and resets within
a couple of seconds.
(as used in AM335x SoC for BeagleBone).
Among other things:
* Watchdog reset doesn't hang the driver.
* Disconnecting cable doesn't hang the driver.
* ifconfig up/down doesn't hang the driver
* Out-of-memory no longer panics the driver.
Known issues:
* Doesn't have good support for fragmented packets
(calls m_defrag() on TX, assumes RX packets are never fragmented)
* Promisc and allmulti still unimplimented
* addmulti and delmulti still unimplemented
* TX queue still stalls (but watchdog now consistently recovers in ~5s)
* No sysctl monitoring
* Only supports port0
* No switch configuration support
* Not tested on anything but BeagleBone
