Subject: [PATCH 00/20] ethernet: ucc_geth: assorted fixes and simplifications

While trying to figure out how to allow bumping the MTU with the
ucc_geth driver, I fell into a rabbit hole and stumbled on a whole
bunch of issues of varying importance - some are outright bug fixes,
while most are a matter of simplifying the code to make it more
accessible.

At the end of digging around the code and data sheet to figure out how
it all works, I think the MTU issue might be fixed by a one-liner, but
I'm not sure it can be that simple. It does seem to work (ping -s X
works for larger values of X, and wireshark confirms that the packets
are not fragmented).

Re patch 2, someone in NXP should check how the hardware actually
works and make an updated reference manual available.
