====================
net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: support placing CPDMA descriptors into DDR
This series intended to add support for placing CPDMA descriptors into
DDR by introducing new module parameter "descs_pool_size" to specify
size of descriptor's pool. The "descs_pool_size" defines total number
of CPDMA CPPI descriptors to be used for both ingress/egress packets
processing. If not specified - the default value 256 will be used
which will allow to place descriptor's pool into the internal CPPI
RAM.
In addition, added ability to re-split CPDMA pool of descriptors
between RX and TX path via ethtool '-G' command wich will allow to
configure and fix number of descriptors used by RX and TX path, which,
then, will be split between RX/TX channels proportionally depending on
number of RX/TX channels and its weight.
This allows significantly to reduce UDP packets drop rate for
bandwidth >301 Mbits/sec (am57x).
Before enabling this feature, the am437x SoC has to be fixed as it's
proved that it's not working when CPDMA descriptors placed in DDR.
So, the patch 1 fixes this issue.
