[RFC v4 net-next 00/17] add support for the the vsc7512 internal copper phys

[Colin Foster]

This patch series is a continuation to add support for the VSC7512:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=674168&state=*

That series added the framework and initial functionality for the
VSC7512 chip. Several of these patches grew during the initial
development of the framework, which is why v1 will include changelogs.
It was during v9 of that original MFD patch set that these were dropped.

With that out of the way, the VSC7512 is mainly a subset of the VSC7514
chip. The 7512 lacks an internal MIPS processor, but otherwise many of
the register definitions are identical. That is why several of these
patches are simply to expose common resources from
drivers/net/ethernet/mscc/*.

This patch only adds support for the first four ports (swp0-swp3). The
remaining ports require more significant changes to the felix driver,
and will be handled in the future.


*** Notes on V4
The patch set is growing long. My apologies. There isn't much that can
reasonably be broken out. Perhaps these could be standalone:

  net: dsa: felix: add functionality when not all ports are supported
  dt-bindings: mfd: ocelot: remove spi-max-frequency from required
    properties

And I'm not certain if these two patches should be combined, as they are
co-dependent:

  dt-bindings: mfd: ocelot: add ethernet-switch hardware support
  dt-bindings: net: dsa: ocelot: add ocelot-ext documentation

The only warning I know about is about the reg array being too long:
/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/dsa/mscc,ocelot.example.dtb: soc@0: ethernet-switch@0:reg: [[1895890944, 65536], [1896022016, 65536], [1896349696, 256], [1896742912, 65536], [1897791488, 256], [1897857024, 256], [1897922560, 256], [1897988096, 256], [1898053632, 256], [1898119168, 256], [1898184704, 256], [1898250240, 256], [1898315776, 256], [1898381312, 256], [1898446848, 256], [1904214016, 524288], [1904738304, 65536], [1896087552, 65536], [1896153088, 65536], [1896218624, 65536]] is too long

Also I know there is still ongoing discussion regarding what the documentation
should reflect. I hope I'm not getting ahead of myself by submitting this
RFC at this time.
