With all DMA address accesses wrapped, we can actually support 64-bit
DMA if this option was chosen at IP integration time.
Since there is no way to autodetect the actual address bus width, we
make use of the existing "xlnx,addrwidth" DT property to let the driver
know about the width. The value in this property should match the
"Address Width" parameter used when synthesizing the IP.

This increases the DMA mask to let the kernel choose buffers from
memory at higher addresses.

This adds documentation about the newly introduced, optional
"xlnx,addrwidth" property to the binding documentation.

While at it, clarify the wording on some properties, replace obsolete
.txt file references with their new .yaml counterparts, and add a more
modern example, using the axistream-connected property.

I think this should be expressed using dma-ranges. This is exactly the 
purpose of dma-ranges and we shouldn't need a device specific property 
for this sort of thing.

OK, after talking to Robin about it, I think I will indeed drop the whole usage of xlnx,addrwidth altogether.
Some thoughts:
- An integrator would choose the addrwidth value in the IP to be big enough for the whole bus. In our case it's actually 40 bits, because this is the max address size the interconnect supports. So any possible physical address the kernel could come up with would be valid for the DMA IP.
- Because of this we set the DMA mask to either 64-bit or 32-bit, depending on the auto detection of the MSB registers.
- If some integrator screws this up anyway, they can always set dma-ranges in the parent to limit the address range. IIUC, no further code would be needed in the Ethernet driver, as this would be handled by some (DMA?) framework?

Does that make sense?

Cheers,
Andre

dma-ranges define the relationship between the physical address spaces of the
parent and child nodes. In this case, ethernet and dma (parent-child) have
the same view of physical address space.   Do we mean to use the child-size
dma-range field and determine the address width?

I think the current driver design will be simplified once we switch to the
dmaengine framework and use the xilinx dma(drivers/dma/xilinx_dma.c) driver.
The address width parsing is already handled by the dma driver. I am working
on an RFC to remove dma code from axiethernet and planning to post patchset.
Hopefully, that should address all concerns.
