[PATCH 2/4] stmmac: remove warning when compile as built-in (V2)

[Giuseppe CAVALLARO]

The patch removes the following serie of warnings
when the driver is compiled as built-in:

drivers/net/stmmac/stmmac_main.c: In function stmmac_cmdline_opt:
drivers/net/stmmac/stmmac_main.c:1855:12: warning: ignoring return
value of kstrtoul, declared with attribute warn_unused_result

[PATCH 3/4] stmmac: unify MAC and PHY configuration parameters (V2)

[Giuseppe CAVALLARO]

Prior to this change, most PHY configuration parameters were passed
into the STMMAC device as a separate PHY device. As well as being
unusual, this made it difficult to make changes to the MAC/PHY
relationship.

This patch moves all the PHY parameters into the MAC configuration
structure, mainly as a separate structure. This allows us to completely
ignore the MDIO bus attached to a stmmac if desired, and not create
the PHY bus. It also allows the stmmac driver to use a different PHY
from the one it is connected to, for example a fixed PHY or bit banging
PHY.

Also derive the stmmac/PHY connection type (MII/RMII etc) from the
mode can be passed into <platf>_configure_ethernet.
STLinux kernel at git://git.stlinux.com/stm/linux-sh4-2.6.32.y.git
provides several examples how to use this new infrastructure (that
actually is easier to maintain and clearer).

+ o bus_id: bus identifier.

+ o bus_setup: perform HW setup of the bus. For example, on some ST platforms
+	     this field is used to configure the AMBA  bridge to generate more

+ o init/exit: callbacks used for calling a custom initialisation;

+	     where the HW needs to have set some PIO lines or system cfg
+	     registers.

+	.init = &stmmac_claim_resource,

+				|-> On ST SoC this calls own "PAD"
+				|   manager framework to claim
+				|   all the resources necessary
+				|   (GPIO ...). The .custom_cfg field
+				|   is used to pass a custom config.
+};
+
+Below the usage of the stmmac_mdio_bus_data: on this SoC, in fact,
+there are two MAC cores: one MAC is for MDIO Bus/PHY emulation
+with fixed_link support.
+
+static struct stmmac_mdio_bus_data stmmac1_mdio_bus = {
+	.bus_id = 1,
+		|
+		|-> phy device on the bus_id 1
+	.phy_reset = phy_reset;
+		|
+		|-> function to provide the phy_reset on this board
+	.phy_mask = 0,
+};
+
+static struct fixed_phy_status stmmac0_fixed_phy_status = {
+	.link = 1,
+	.speed = 100,
+	.duplex = 1,
+};
+
+During the board's device_init we can configure the first
+MAC for fixed_link by calling:
+  fixed_phy_add(PHY_POLL, 1, &stmmac0_fixed_phy_status));)
+and the second one, with a real PHY device attached to the bus,
+by using the stmmac_mdio_bus_data structure (to provide the id, the
+reset procedure etc).
