2012-08-31net:stmmac: Remove bus_id from mdio platform data.Srinivas Kandagatla
This patch removes bus_id from mdio platform data, The reason to remove bus_id is, stmmac mdio bus_id is always same as stmmac bus-id, so there is no point in passing this in different variable. Also stmmac ethernet driver connects to phy with bus_id passed its platform data. So, having single bus-id is much simpler.

2012-07-01stmmac: update the driver Documentation and add EEEGiuseppe CAVALLARO
This patch updates the stmmac's documentation adding some missing files in the section used to describe the internal driver's structure. Also the patch adds a new section to describe the EEE support.

2012-06-06stmmac: update driver's docGiuseppe CAVALLARO
Fixed the driver's documentation that was obsolete and didn't report new platform fields (recently added). Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Cavallaro <peppe.cavallaro@st.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-04-04stmmac: MDC clock dynamically based on the csr clock inputGiuseppe CAVALLARO
If a specific clk_csr value is passed from the platform this means that the CSR Clock Range selection cannot be changed at run-time and it is fixed (as reported in the driver documentation). Viceversa the driver will try to set the MDC clock dynamically according to the actual clock input.

2012-04-04stmmac: re-work the internal GMAC DMA platf parametersDeepak SIKRI
This patch re-works the internal GMAC DMA parameters passed from the platform. In the past, we only passed the pbl but, with new core, other parameters can be passed and are mandatory on some platforms. New parameters are documented in stmmac.txt because this patch has an impact for many platforms.

2012-04-04stmmac: Define CSUM offload engine TypesDeepak SIKRI
This patch explicitly defines the CSUM offload engine type which need (not mandatory) to be passed from the platform code. STMMAC core supports two check sum offload engine types- Type-1 & Type-2. Also, there are STMMAC cores that do not have the check sum offload capabilities. The behaviour of Type-1 & Type-2 cores related to provision of checksum increases the packet length for Type-1 cores by 2, as the checksum is appended at the end of data packet and the same is made accountable in the DMA status. The STMMAC cores beyond Version-3.5 provide HW interface registers which allows the user to read the HW capabilities, while to support the previous cores the information related to HW capabilities has to be provided from the platform code. The Type-1 cores which do not have the HW register interface need this information. This patch also updates the driver's doc.
