The QCA955X is affected by a hardware bug which causes link-loss of the
SGMII link between SoC and PHY. This happens on change of link-state or
speed.
It is not really known what causes this bug. It definitely occurs when
using a AR8033 Gigabit Ethernet PHY.
Qualcomm solves this Bug in a similar fashion. We need to apply the fix
on a per-device base via platform-data as performing the fixup work will
break connectivity in case the SGMII interface is connected to a Switch.
This bug was first proposed to be fixed by Sven Eckelmann in 2016.

The driver is written in such a way that with a board defintion that
connects a fixed phy, mdio, and switch in a certain way, a kernel oops could
result because of lack of previously probed mdio bus.
This commit allows for easier debugging in this case by casting the
correct blame with serial console messages.

It's a little noisier but makes it obvious when the ar7240 switch was
connected to the MDIO bus, and to which phy device (or the failure
to do so).

NB: Error only appears with ag71xx debug messages and dynamic printk
enabled. This is probably why no one has caught it before.
Previously phy probe debug messages used old (now wrong) functions
to get the phy name for printing. There was also the chance of
a NULL pointer in the event no phy_device was found.

With this change, the timestamp variable is only used in ag71xx_check_dma_stuck. Small tx speedup.
Based on a Qualcomm commit. ag->timestamp = jiffies was not replaced with netif_trans_update(dev) because of this quote:
It should be noted that after this series several instances
of netif_trans_update() are useless (if they occur in
.ndo_start_xmit and driver doesn't set LLTX flag -- stack already
did an update).

Subject: [ag71xx] cluster/align structs for cache perf
Cluster the frequently used, per-packet structures in ag71xx near
to each other, and cacheline-align them. Some other re-ordering
occurred to move "warmer" structures near the per-packet structures.

Because the oldest supported kernel version on the ar71xx target is 4.4,
the condition that the kernel version is smaller than 4.2.0 is always
false. Remove the obsolete check from ag71xx_main.c to clean up the code
a bit.

Subject: [ag71xx] reduce NAPI weight
In an attempt to increase our cache warmth, we are decreasing NAPI.
This increases the warmth of the reused SKBs.

The motivation for this was misguided. It turns out tuning the NAPI weight could be useful for testing purposes. Therefore reverting.

This reverts commit 13e5e47369.
This commit causes a severe regression in LAN->WAN routing performance
for several devices. This appears to be caused by the extra requirement
to validate the SKB checksum early in the rx path, which the ethernet
hardware does not do

This add support for kernel 4.9 to the ar71xx target.
It was compile tested with the generic, NAND and mikrotik subtarget.
Multiple members of the community tested it on their boards and did not
report any major problem so far.
Especially the NAND part received some changes to adapt to the new
kernel APIs. The serial driver hack used for the Arduino Yun was not
ported because the kernel changed there a lot.

On a TL-WN710N, this patch increases iperf performance from ~92.5 to ~93.5 mbps. Keep in mind the WN710N is a 100mbps device. I expect greater numbers from gigabit devices.
