Clean the dma flags of multiq ring buffer int the interface stop
process. This patch fixes that the genet is not running while the
interface is re-enabled.

$ ifup eth0 - running after booting
$ ifdown eth0
$ ifup eth0 - not running and occur tx_timeout

The bcmgenet_dma_disable() in bcmgenet_open() do clean ring16 dma flag
only. If the genet has multiq, the dma register is not cleaned. and
bcmgenet_init_dma() is not done correctly. in case
GENET_V2(tx_queues=4), tdma_ctrl has 0x1e after running
bcmgenet_dma_disable().

bcmgenet_timeout() executes in atomic context, yet we will invoke
napi_disable() which does sleep. Looking back at the changes, disabling
TX napi and re-enabling it is completely useless, since we reclaim all
TX buffers and re-enable interrupts, and wake up the TX queues.

Writing each 4Kb page into flash might take up-to ~100 miliseconds,
during which time management firmware cannot acces the nvram for its
own uses.

Firmware upgrade utility use the ethtool API to burn new flash images
for the device via the ethtool API, doing so by writing several page-worth
of data on each command. Such action might create problems for the
management firmware, as the nvram might not be accessible for a long time.

This patch changes the write implementation, releasing the nvram lock on
the completion of each page, allowing the management firmware time to
claim it and perform its own required actions.

Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle:
 "Another round of MIPS fixes for 4.2.

  Things are looking quite decent at this stage but the recent work on
  the FPU support took its toll:

   - fix an incorrect overly restrictive ifdef

   - select O32 64-bit FP support for O32 binary compatibility

   - remove workarounds for Sibyte SB1250 Pass1 parts.  There are rare
     fixing the workarounds is not worth the effort.

   - patch up an outdated and now incorrect comment"

* 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus:
  MIPS: fpu.h: Allow 64-bit FPU on a 64-bit MIPS R6 CPU
  MIPS: SB1: Remove support for Pass 1 parts.
  MIPS: Require O32 FP64 support for MIPS64 with O32 compat
  MIPS: asm-offset.c: Patch up various comments refering to the old filename.

Pass 1 parts had a number of significant erratas and were only available
in small numbers and under NDA.  Full support also required the use of a
special toolchain that kept branches properly aligned.  These workarounds
were never upstreamed and the only toolchain known to have them is
Montavista's GCC 3.0-based toolchain which completly obsoleted if not
useless these days.

So now that automated testing has tripped over the user of the
-msb1-pass1-workarounds option, rather than fixing it remove support for
pass 1 parts.

Probably nobody will notice.  I seem to own the last know pass 1 board
and I haven't noticed another one in the wild in the past decade, at
least.

bcmgenet driver needs to separate packet drops from packet errors.

When the driver has to drop a *good* packet, due to lack of buffers or
replacement skbs, increment only dev-&gt;stats.[rx|tx]_dropped.

When the driver encounters a bad Rx packet or Tx error, increment only
dev-&gt;stats.[rx|tx]_errors + relevant detailed error counter.

<content type='text'>
All BCM7xxx integrated Gigabit PHYs have an issue in their MDIO
management controller which will make the initial read or write to them
to fail and return 0xffff. This is a real issue as the typical first
thing we do is read from MII_PHYSID1 and MII_PHYSID2 from get_phy_id()
to register a driver for these PHYs.

Coupled with the workaround in drivers/net/phy/bcm7xxx.c, this
workaround for the MDIO bus controller consists in scanning the list of
PHYs to do this initial read workaround for as part of the MDIO bus
reset routine which is invoked prior to mdiobus_scan().

Once we have a proper PHY driver/device registered, all workarounds are
located there (e.g: power management suspend/resume calls).

With CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y bnx2x triggers the error "DMA-API: device
driver frees DMA memory with wrong function".
On archs where PAGE_SIZE &gt; SGE_PAGE_SIZE it also triggers "DMA-API:
device driver frees DMA memory with different size".

Fix this by making the mapping and unmapping symmetric:
 - Do not map the whole pool page at once. Instead map the
   SGE_PAGE_SIZE-sized pieces individually, so they can be unmapped in
   the same manner.
 - What's mapped using dma_map_page() must be unmapped using
   dma_unmap_page().

Tested on ppc64.
