[ Upstream commit 6fb5ff63b35b7e849cc8510957f25753f87f63d2 ]

According to the 1588 standard, it is possible to use both unicast and
multicast frames to send the PTP information. It was noticed that if the
frames were unicast they were not processed by the analyzer meaning that
they were not timestamped. Therefore fix this to match also these
unicast frames.

[ Upstream commit 57a92d14659df3e7e7e0052358c8cc68bbbc3b5e ]

We have noticed that when PHY timestamping is enabled, L2 frames seems
to be modified by changing two 2 bytes with a value of 0. The place were
these 2 bytes seems to be random(or I couldn't find a pattern).  In most
of the cases the userspace can ignore these frames but if for example
those 2 bytes are in the correction field there is nothing to do.  This
seems to happen when configuring the HW for IPv4 even that the flow is
not enabled.
These 2 bytes correspond to the UDPv4 checksum and once we don't enable
clearing the checksum when using L2 frames then the frame doesn't seem
to be changed anymore.

By default the VSC8501 and VSC8502 RGMII/GMII/MII RX_CLK output is
disabled. To allow packet forwarding towards the MAC it needs to be
enabled.

For other PHYs supported by this driver the clock output is enabled
by default.

The key length used to store the macsec key was set to MACSEC_KEYID_LEN

- This was never meant to be the key length.
- The key length can be &gt; 16.

Fix this by using MACSEC_MAX_KEY_LEN instead (the max length accepted in

At Power-On Reset, transients may cause the LCPLL to lock onto a
clock that is momentarily unstable. This is normally seen in QSGMII
setups where the higher speed 6G SerDes is being used.
