[PATCH v2 0/6] net/macb: add HW features to macb driver

[Cyrille Pitchen]

Hi,

this series of patches adds new hardware features to macb driver. These
features can be enabled/disabled at runtime using ethtool. Depending on
hardware and design configuration, some are enabled by default whereas other
are disabled.

For instance, checksum offload features are enabled by default for gem designed
for packet buffer mode but disabled for fifo mode design or for old macb.

Besides, the scatter-gather feature is enabled and tested on macb but disabled
on sama5d3x gem. When testing this feature on sama5d3x gem, TX lockups occured
frequently.

Also, the RX checksum offload feature is enabled at GEM level only when both
IFF_PROMISC bit is clear in dev->flags and NETIF_F_RXCSUM bit is set in
dev->features.

These patches were made for net-next.git repository.
