Sercomm SHG2500 is a BCM63168 with 128M of RAM, 256M of NAND, an external
BCM53124S switch for the LAN ports and internal/external Broadcom wifi.
LEDs are connected to an external MSP430G2513 MCU controlled via SPI.

Register the ethernet driver from iudma, which avoids the attempt to probe the
emac driver before iudma and its consequent deferral.
The ethernet driver can't work without iudma anyway.

We should ensure that the PHY is properly configured.
This is specially needed in devices using the internal PHY for ethernet0.

The MDIO bus is supported but there are errors when trying to probe and
configure the external BCM5325E switch through B53 DSA.
Therefore, let's add basic ethernet (but working) support for now.

The current implementation of bcm6368-enetsw is a mess of dev, ndev and kdev
variables, which have refer to different things depending on the function.
This commit harmonizes it and resolves the issue.

Without this change, internal and external B53 switches couldn't coexist as
reported in https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/10313.
In order to fix this we need to force the B53 MMAP DSA switch driver to use
bcm6368-mdio-mux for accessing the PHY registers instead of its own phy_read()
and phy_write() functions.

NAPI poll() function may be passed a budget value of zero, i.e. during
netpoll, which isn't NAPI context.
Therefore, napi_consume_skb() must be given budget value instead of
!force to truly discern netpoll-like scenarios.

Use existing rx processed count to track against budget, thereby making
budget decrement operation redundant.
rx_desc_count can be calculated outside the rx loop, making the loop a
bit smaller.

napi_build_skb() reuses NAPI skbuff_head cache in order to save some
cycles on freeing/allocating skbuff_heads on every new rx or completed
tx.
Use napi_consume_skb() to feed the cache with skbuff_heads of completed
tx so it's never empty.

Check if we're in NAPI context when refilling rx. Normally we're almost
always running in NAPI context. Dispatch to napi_alloc_frag() directly
instead of relying on netdev_alloc_frag() which does the same but with
the overhead of local_bh_disable/enable.

We can increase the efficiency of rx path by using buffers to receive
packets then build SKBs around them just before passing into the network
stack. In contrast, preallocating SKBs too early reduces CPU cache
efficiency.
Performance is slightly increased but the changes allow more
potential optimizations.

bmips is using Broadcom B53 DSA driver which means the ethernet driver
must compensate for 6 bytes tags from the internal switch.
This means using NET_IP_ALIGN actually misaligns the skb, lowering
performance significantly. Therefore napi_alloc_skb() which uses
NET_IP_ALIGN is changed to netdev_alloc_skb().
Performance in iperf3 is increased from ~47Mbps to 52Mbps.

A devent amount of patches have been upstreamed, so maintaining linux 5.10 on

In the current state, nvmem cells are only detected on platform device.
To quickly fix the problem, we register the affected problematic driver
with the of_platform but that is more an hack than a real solution.
Backport from net-next the required patch so that nvmem can work also
with non-platform devices and rework our current patch.
Drop the mediatek and dsa workaround and rework the ath10k patches.
Rework every driver that use the of_get_mac_address api.

These PCI drivers are a bit hacky and definitely not suitable for upstreaming,
but hopefully we can use them as a base for developing proper upstream PCI
drivers.

This adds experimental ethernet support for BCM6318, BCM6328, BCM6362, BCM6368
and BCM63268.
BCM6358 needs a different driver, so there's no support for now.
Working devices:
- Comtrend AR-5315u
- Comtrend AR-5387un
- Comtrend VR-3025u
- Comtrend VR-3032u
Not working devices:
- Netgear DGND3700 v2 (no idea on how the external switch is connected)
- Huawei HG556a ver B (BCM6358 needs a separate driveer)

This target has full device tree support, thus reducing the number of
patches needed for bcm63xx, in which there's a patch for every board.
The intention is to start with a minimal amount of downstream patches and
start upstreaming all of them.
Current status:
- Enabling EHCI/OHCI on BCM6358 causes a kernel panic.
- BCM63268 lacks Timer Clocks/Reset support.
- No PCI/PCIe drivers.
- No ethernet drivers.
