Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 2/2] net: maxlinear: Add support for MxL LGM SoC
Add mxl_eth driver to introduce the initial implementation of ethernet
support for Maxlinear LGM SoC.
LGM SoC has a multi port MAC controller to interface with the PHY. It also
has a master MDIO interface to control the external MDIO configured
devices.

+MaxLinear Multi-MAC Network Processor (NP)
+===============================================
+
+Copyright(c) 2025 MaxLinear, Inc.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+This document describes the Linux driver for the MaxLinear Network Processor
+(NP), a high-performance controller supporting multiple MACs and
+advanced packet processing capabilities.
+
+The MaxLinear Network processor integrates programmable hardware accelerators
+for tasks such as Layer 2, 3, 4 forwarding, flow steering, and traffic shaping.
+It is designed to operate in high-throughput applications.
+
+Key Features
+============
+
+- Support for up to 4 independent 10 Gbit/s MAC interfaces
+- Full-duplex 10G operation
+- Multiqueue support for parallel RX/TX paths (per MAC)
+
+Supported Devices
+=================
+
+The driver supports the following MaxLinear NPU family devices:
+- MaxLinear LGM
+
+Each device supports multiple MACs and high-performance data pipelines managed
+through internal firmware and programmable engines.
+
+Kernel Configuration
+====================
+
+The driver is located in the menu structure at:
+
+ -> Device Drivers
+ -> Network device support
+ -> Ethernet driver support
+ -> MaxLinear NPU Ethernet driver
+
+Or set in your kernel config:
+ CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_MAXLINEAR=y
+ CONFIG_MAXLINEAR_ETH=y
+
