net: stmmac: Add multi-channel support
DW GMAC v3.73 can be equipped with the Audio Video (AV) feature which enables transmission of time-sensitive traffic over bridged local area networks (DWC Ethernet QoS Product). In that case there can be up to two additional DMA-channels available with no Tx COE support (unless there is vendor-specific IP-core alterations). Each channel is implemented as a separate Control and Status register (CSR) for managing the transmit and receive functions, descriptor handling, and interrupt handling. Add the multi-channels DW GMAC controllers support just by making sure the already implemented DMA-configs are performed on the per-channel basis. Note the only currently known instance of the multi-channel DW GMAC IP-core is the LS2K2000 GNET controller, which has been released with the vendor-specific feature extension of having eight DMA-channels. The device support will be added in one of the following up commits.
