On port initialization, we configure the maximum frame length accepted
by the receive module associated with the port. This value is currently
written to the MAX_LEN field of the DEV10G_MAC_ENA_CFG register, when in
fact, it should be written to the DEV10G_MAC_MAXLEN_CFG register. Fix
this.

[ Upstream commit f004f2e535e2b66ccbf5ac35f8eaadeac70ad7b7 ]

The FDMA handler is responsible for scheduling a NAPI poll, which will
eventually fetch RX packets from the FDMA queue. Currently, the FDMA
handler is run in a threaded context. For some reason, this kills
performance.  Admittedly, I did not do a thorough investigation to see
exactly what causes the issue, however, I noticed that in the other
driver utilizing the same FDMA engine, we run the FDMA handler in hard
IRQ context.

Fix this performance issue, by  running the FDMA handler in hard IRQ
context, not deferring any work to a thread.

Prior to this change, the RX UDP performance was:

Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Jitter
0.00-10.20  sec    44.6 MBytes  36.7 Mbits/sec  0.027 ms

After this change, the rx UDP performance is:

Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Jitter
0.00-9.12   sec    1.01 GBytes  953 Mbits/sec   0.020 ms

[ Upstream commit 89d72d4125e94aa3c2140fedd97ce07ba9e37674 ]

Based on the static analyzis of the code it looks like when an entry
from the MAC table was removed, the entry was still used after being
freed. More precise the vid of the mac_entry was used after calling
devm_kfree on the mac_entry.
The fix consists in first using the vid of the mac_entry to delete the
entry from the HW and after that to free it.

commit 7a8227b2e76be506b2ac64d2beac950ca04892a5 upstream.

dev_set_rx_mode() grabs a spin_lock, and the lan743x implementation
proceeds subsequently to go to sleep using readx_poll_timeout().

Introduce a helper wrapping the readx_poll_timeout_atomic() function
and use it to replace the calls to readx_polL_timeout().

[ Upstream commit 588ab2dc25f60efeb516b4abedb6c551949cc185 ]

There is an issue with the checking of the return value of
'of_get_mac_address', which returns 0 on success and negative value on
failure. The driver interpretated the result the opposite way. Therefore
if there was a MAC address defined in the DT, then the driver was
generating a random MAC address otherwise it would use address 0.
Fix this by checking correctly the return value of 'of_get_mac_address'

Fixes: b74ef9f9cb91 ("net: sparx5: Do not use mac_addr uninitialized in mchp_sparx5_probe()")
