net: sparx5: add support for lan969x switch device
== Description:
This series is the second of a multi-part series, that prepares and adds
support for the new lan969x switch driver.
The upstreaming efforts is split into multiple series (might change a
bit as we go along):
1) Prepare the Sparx5 driver for lan969x (merged)
--> 2) add support lan969x (same basic features as Sparx5
provides excl. FDMA and VCAP).
3) Add support for lan969x VCAP, FDMA and RGMII
== Lan969x in short:
The lan969x Ethernet switch family [1] provides a rich set of
switching features and port configurations (up to 30 ports) from 10Mbps
to 10Gbps, with support for RGMII, SGMII, QSGMII, USGMII, and USXGMII,
ideal for industrial & process automation infrastructure applications,
transport, grid automation, power substation automation, and ring &
intra-ring topologies. The LAN969x family is hardware and software
compatible and scalable supporting 46Gbps to 102Gbps switch bandwidths.
== Preparing Sparx5 for lan969x:
The main preparation work for lan969x has already been merged [1].
After this series is applied, lan969x will have the same functionality
as Sparx5, except for VCAP and FDMA support. QoS features that requires
the VCAP (e.g. PSFP, port mirroring) will obviously not work until VCAP
support is added later.
== Patch breakdown:
Patch #1-#4 do some preparation work for lan969x
Patch #5 adds new registers required by lan969x
Patch #6 adds initial match data for all lan969x targets
Patch #7 defines the lan969x register differences
Patch #8 adds lan969x constants to match data
Patch #9 adds some lan969x ops in bulk
Patch #10 adds PTP function to ops
Patch #11 adds lan969x_calendar.c for calculating the calendar
Patch #12 makes additional use of the is_sparx5() macro to branch out
in certain places.
Patch #13 documents lan969x in the dt-bindings
Patch #14 adds lan969x compatible string to sparx5 driver
Patch #15 introduces new concept of per-target features

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
