Subject: [PATCH net-next v8 0/4] net: Add Keystone NetCP ethernet driver support

The Network Coprocessor (NetCP) is a hardware accelerator that processes
Ethernet packets. NetCP has a gigabit Ethernet (GbE) subsystem with a ethernet
switch sub-module to send and receive packets. NetCP also includes a packet
accelerator (PA) module to perform packet classification operations such as
header matching, and packet modification operations such as checksum
generation. NetCP can also optionally include a Security Accelerator(SA)
capable of performing IPSec operations on ingress/egress packets.
    
Keystone SoC's also have a 10 Gigabit Ethernet Subsystem (XGbE) which
includes a 3-port Ethernet switch sub-module capable of 10Gb/s and
1Gb/s rates per Ethernet port.
    
Both GBE and XGBE network processors supported using common driver. It
is also designed to handle future variants of NetCP.

version history
---------------
v7->v8

 - Reworked comments against v7, related to checker warning.
 - Patch 2/4 that has all of the driver code in v7 is now split into 3
   patches based on functionality so that we have 3 smaller patches
   review instead of a big patch.
 - Patch for MAINTAINER is merged to 2/4 along with netcp core driver
 - Separate patch (3/4) for 1G and  (4/4) for 10G
 - Removed big endian support for initial version (will add it later)

v6->v7
 - Fixed some minor documentation error and also modified the netcp driver
   to fix the set* functions to include correct le/be macros.

v5->v6
 - updated version after incorporating comments [6] from David Miller,
   David Laight & Geert Uytterhoeven on v5. I would like get this in
   for v3.19 merge window if the latest version is acceptable.

v4->v5
 - Sorry to spin v5 quickly but I missed few check-patch warnings which
   were pointed by Joe Perches(thanks). I folded his changes [5] along with
   few more check-patch warning fixes. I would like get this in for v3.18
   merge window if David is happy with this version.

v3->v4
 - Couple of fixes in in error path as pointed [4] out by David. Rest of
   the patches are unchanged from v3. 

v2->v3
 - Update v3 after incorporating Jamal and David Miller's comment/suggestion
   from earlier versions [1] [2].  After per the discussion here [3], the
   controversial custom exports have been dropped now. And for future
   future offload support additions, we will plug into generic frameworks
   as an when they are available.
