[PATCH net-next v3 0/4] net: lan966x: Add support for FDMA

[Horatiu Vultur]

Currently when injecting or extracting a frame from CPU, the frame
is given to the HW each word at a time. There is another way to
inject/extract frames from CPU using FDMA(Frame Direct Memory Access).
In this way the entire frame is given to the HW. This improves both
RX and TX bitrate.

v2->v3:
- move skb_tx_timestamp before the IFH is inserted, because in case of PHY
  timestamping, the PHY should not see the IFH.
- use lower/upper_32_bits()
- reimplement the RX path in case of memory pressure.
- use devm_request_irq instead of devm_request_threaded_irq
- add various checks for return values.

v1->v2:
- fix typo in commit message in last patch
- remove first patch as the changes are already there
- make sure that there is space in skb to put the FCS
- move skb_tx_timestamp closer to the handover of the frame to the HW

Horatiu Vultur (4):
  net: lan966x: Add registers that are used for FDMA.
  net: lan966x: Expose functions that are needed by FDMA
  net: lan966x: Add FDMA functionality
  net: lan966x: Update FDMA to change MTU.
