The mvmdio driver uses the phylib API, so it should select the PHYLIB symbol, otherwise, a build with mvmdio (but without mvneta) fails to build with undefined symbols such as mdiobus_unregister, mdiobus_free, etc. The mvneta driver does not use the phylib API directly, so it does not need to select PHYLIB. It already selects the mvmdio driver anyway. Historically, this problem is due to the fact that the PHY handling was originally part of mvneta, and was later moved to a separate driver, without updating the Kconfig select statements accordingly. And since there was no functional reason to use mvmdio without mvneta, this case was not tested. Signed-off-by:

This patch contains a new network driver for the network unit of the ARM Marvell Armada 370 and the Armada XP. Both SoCs use the PJ4B processor, a Marvell-developed ARM core that implements the ARMv7 instruction set. Compared to previous ARM Marvell SoCs (Kirkwood, Orion, Discovery), the network unit in Armada 370 and Armada XP is highly different. This is the reason why this new 'mvneta' driver is needed, while the older ARM Marvell SoCs use the 'mv643xx_eth' driver. Here is an overview of the most important hardware changes that require a new, specific, driver for the network unit of Armada 370/XP: - The new network unit has a completely different design and layout for the RX and TX descriptors. They are now organized as a simple array (each RX and TX queue has base address and size of this array) rather than a linked list as in the old SoCs. - The new network unit has a different RXQ and TXQ management: this management is done using special read/write counter registers, while in the Old SocS, it was done using the Ownership bit in RX and TX descriptors. - The new network unit has different interrupt registers - The new network unit way of cleaning of interrupts is not done by writing to the cause register, but by updating per-queue counters - The new network unit has different GMAC registers (link, speed, duplex configuration) and different WRR registers. - The new network unit has lots of new units like PnC (Parser and Classifier), PMT, BM (Memory Buffer Management), xPON, and more. The driver proposed in the current patch only handles the basic features. Additional hardware features will progressively be supported as needed. This code has originally been written by Rami Rosen <rosenr@marvell.com>, and then reviewed and cleaned up by Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a separate driver for the MDIO interface of the Marvell Ethernet controllers. There are two reasons to have a separate driver rather than including it inside the MAC driver itself: *) The MDIO interface is shared by all Ethernet ports, so a driver must guarantee non-concurrent accesses to this MDIO interface. The most logical way is to have a separate driver that handles this single MDIO interface, used by all Ethernet ports. *) The MDIO interface is the same between the existing mv643xx_eth driver and the new mvneta driver. Even though it is for now only used by the mvneta driver, it will in the future be used by the mv643xx_eth driver as well. Signed-off-by:

Based on finds for Stephen Rothwell, where current defconfig's enable a ethernet driver and it is not compiled due to the newly added NET_VENDOR_* component of Kconfig. This patch enables all the "new" Kconfig options so that current defconfig's will continue to compile the expected drivers. In addition, by enabling all the new Kconfig options does not add any un-expected options. CC: Stephen Rothwll <sfc@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by:
