Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/6] net: ppv2: various improvements

Hi all,

This series includes various patches improving the Marvell PPv2 driver.
I send them as a series to avoid any possible merge conflict.

- Patches 1 and 2 improve the initializing of the Tx and Rx FIFO.
- Patch 3 initialize the RSS table to evenly distribute the ingress
  packets across multiple Rx queues based on their hashes.
- Patch 4 limits the number of TSO segments sent to the driver, to avoid
  having more segments to handle than the corresponding number of
  available descriptors.
- Patch 5 and 6 are cosmetic improvements.

This applies on today's net-next branch, The patches were tested
extensively (I ran iperf and http downloads in parallel, transferring
TBs of data).

Thanks!
Antoine
