net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Improve indirect addressing performance

Before this change, both the read and write callback would start out
by asserting that the chip's busy flag was cleared. However, both
callbacks also made sure to wait for the clearing of the busy bit
before returning - making the initial check superfluous. The only
time that would ever have an effect was if the busy bit was initially
set for some reason.

With that in mind, make sure to perform an initial check of the busy
bit, after which both read and write can rely the previous operation
to have waited for the bit to clear.

This cuts the number of operations on the underlying MDIO bus by 25%

net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Improve performance of busy bit polling

Avoid a long delay when a busy bit is still set and has to be polled
again.

Measurements on a system with 2 Opals (6097F) and one Agate (6352)
show that even with this much tighter loop, we have about a 50% chance
of the bit being cleared on the first poll, all other accesses see the
bit being cleared on the second poll.

On a standard MDIO bus running MDC at 2.5MHz, a single access with 32
bits of preamble plus 32 bits of data takes 64*(1/2.5MHz) = 25.6us.

This means that mv88e6xxx_smi_direct_wait took 26us + CPU overhead in
the fast scenario, but 26us + 1500us + 26us + CPU overhead in the slow
case - bringing the average close to 1ms.

With this change in place, the slow case is closer to 2*26us + CPU
overhead, with the average well below 100us - a 10x improvement.

This translates to real-world winnings. On a 3-chip 20-port system,
the modprobe time drops by 88%:

Before:

root@coronet:~# time modprobe mv88e6xxx
real 0m 15.99s
user 0m 0.00s
sys 0m 1.52s

After:

root@coronet:~# time modprobe mv88e6xxx
real 0m 2.21s
user 0m 0.00s
sys 0m 1.54s

net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: add delay in direct SMI wait

The mv88e6xxx_smi_direct_wait routine is used to wait on indirect
registers access. It is of no exception and must delay between read
attempts, like other wait routines.

net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: fix SMI bit checking

The current mv88e6xxx_smi_direct_wait function is only used to check
the 16th bit of the (16-bit) SMI Command register. But the bit shift
operation is not enough if we eventually use this function to check
other bits, thus replace it with a mask.

net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: introduce support for two chips using direct smi addressing

The 88e6250 (as well as 6220, 6071, 6070, 6020) do not support
multi-chip (indirect) addressing. However, one can still have two of
them on the same mdio bus, since the device only uses 16 of the 32
possible addresses, either addresses 0x00-0x0F or 0x10-0x1F depending
on the ADDR4 pin at reset [since ADDR4 is internally pulled high, the
latter is the default].

In order to prepare for supporting the 88e6250 and friends, introduce
mv88e6xxx_info::dual_chip to allow having a non-zero sw_addr while
still using direct addressing.

net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: refine SMI support

The Marvell SOHO switches have several ways to access the internal
registers. One of them being the System Management Interface (SMI),
using the MDC and MDIO pins, with direct and indirect variants.

In preparation for adding support for other register accesses, move
the SMI code into its own files. At the same time, refine the code
to make it clear that the indirect variant is implemented using the
direct variant accessing only two registers for command and data.
