This patch re-enables the reset_ppe() functionality for VR9 targets by using
the new lantiq rcu subsystem. The reset sequence in the reset_ppe() function
was taken from the ppa datapath driver of lantiq UGW 7.4.1.
Additionally it adds the required reset definitions to the vr9 dtsi file.
It also prepares the reset_ppe() function calls for the other lantiq targets.
This feature is needed to be able to switch between ltq-atm/ltq-ptm driver
in ATM/PTM Auto-Mode at runtime.

This is fixing multiple compile problems with kernel 4.14 and updates the
code to take care of changes introduced between kernel 4.9 and 4.14.

The ATM subsystem is different from the generic ethernet NICs. The ATM
subsystem requires a callback when a packet has been sent. It means a
tx skb_buff need to be used after it has sent. While the generic NIC
can fill up the TX ring and free skb_buffs if it encounter a ring buffer slot
with an already sent skbuff.
The ATM drivers need call the pop() function after it has send a
single ATM package. The ATM subsystem controls via this ways the queuing.
The ppe engine use DMA channels for read and write. Every atm_vcc has it's
own TX DMA channel and each TX DMA channel has it's own ring buffer.
The old driver had multiple issues:
- Call the subsystem callback at the beginning of tx function (ppe_send).
Didn't allowed the ATM subsystem to control the enqueued package
amount.
- Filled up the TX ring until full and fail futher
- copy or decouple the skb from all other subsystem before giving it
over to TX ring
The new tx path uses interupts.
- call the subsystem callback _after_ it was sent by hardware
- no need to copy our decouple the skb any more
- gives back control to the atm subsystem over the enqueued packages
- use an interupt for every sent atm package
Using interupts shouldn't be a problem because of the slow uplink bandwidth of
ADSL.
The speed _through_ the DSL router was always as high as it should
be, only traffic generated on the router itself were affected.
After changing to new tx path, the speed of iperf's run on the
router itself reached the same speed. The master/trunk wasn't as much
affected because of TCP optimisations (reboot-5022-gb2ea46fe236a).
The following results are taken on the remote server, which receives
the stream over the internet and the DSL line.
The sync moves between every sync a litte bit, but is so far stable

Commit 2e496876c6 fixed the generation of the depends line for external
kernel modules which makes it possible for the build system to
automatically detect this missing dependency.
This fixes the packaging of kmod-ltq-atm for the ar9, xway and
xway-legacy subtarget.

This is needed to be able to load the ltq-atm/ltq-ptm driver
from a notify script during synchronization, because the line can
reach showtime state before the driver is fully loaded.

This prevents the unconditionally start of pppd since netifd will be
triggered if the device goes into showtime. The same applies to lost
showtime as well.
In compare to the ptm driver, this changeset isn't strictly required,
since the "not in showtime" message is limited to the debug loglevel.
But it reduces the amount of ppp related messages significant.
