Yutang Jiang 1866368a8a layerscape: add ls1088ardb device support
LS1088A is an ARMv8 implementation combining eight ARM A53 processor
cores. The LS1088ARDB is an evaluatoin platform that supports the
LS1088A family SoCs.

Features summary:
- Eight 64-bit ARM v8 Cortex-A53 CPUs
- Data path acceleration architecture 2.0 (DPAA2)
- Ethernet interfaces
- QUADSPI flash, 3 PCIe, 2 USB, 1 SD, 2 DUARTs etc

Subject: [PATCH 205/226] fsl-dpaa2: eth: sanitize supported private flags
On linux-v4.6 with CONFIG_MACVLAN=y, when bringing up a ni interface, the
network stack crashes due to a segfault. This is related to the
macvlan_device_event notifier, which registers itself to all the network
interface in the system.
The notifier reads the netdev private flags and incorrectly qualifies
the interface as a macvlan port, since both the IFF_MACVLAN_PORT and
IFF_PROMISC flags have the same offset. Code spelunking reveals that
IFF_PROMISC is only used as an interface flag, not a private interface
flag.
A similar situation happens with IFF_ALLMULTI, which overlaps with
IFF_BRIDGE_PORT. No info on the consequences of this, since I haven't
tested bridge scenarios. The interface can still be set in allmulti
mode using userspace tools (e.g. ifconfig).
IFF_MULTICAST overlaps with IFF_UNICAST_FLT, therefore the current code
has no effect as it is. The closest multicast activation based on device
capabilities has been seen in the case of the Aeroflex Gaisler Ethernet
MAC (aeroflex/greth.c) - here, the runtime (not private) flag is set on
device probe. On a side node, ether_setup enables IFF_MULTICAST by default.
Remove IFF_PROMISC, IFF_ALLMULTI and IFF_MULTICAST from device capabilities
init.
