net: stmmac: use correct DMA buffer size in the RX descriptor

We always program the maximum DMA buffer size into the receive descriptor,
although the allocated size may be less. E.g. with the default MTU size
we allocate only 1536 bytes. If somebody sends us a bigger frame, then
memory may get corrupted.

Fix by using exact buffer sizes.

Notice the 4 bytes of 0 before the expected byte of d0.

Databook notes that the RX buffer must be a multiple of 4/8/16
bytes [1].

Update the DMA Buffer size define to 8188 instead of 8192. Remove
the -1 from the RX buffer size allocations and use the new
DMA Buffer size directly.

net: ethernet: stmmac: change dma descriptors to __le32

The stmmac driver does not take into account the processor may be big
endian when writing the DMA descriptors. This causes the ethernet
interface not to be initialised correctly when running a big-endian
kernel. Change the descriptors for DMA to use __le32 and ensure they are
suitably swapped before writing. Tested successfully on the
Cubieboard2.

stmmac: code tidy-up

This patch tidies up the code. I have run Linden (and verified with checkpatch)
many part of the driver trying to reorganize some sections respecting the
codying-style rules in the points where it was not done.

stmmac: reorganize chain/ring modes removing Koptions

Previously we had two Koptions to decide if the stmmac
had to use either a ring or a chain to manage its descriptors.
This patch removes the Kernel configuration options and it allow us
to use the chain mode by passing a module option.
Ring mode continues to be the default.

Also with this patch, it will be easier to validate the driver built and
guarantee that all the two modes always compile fine.

# 286a8372 17-Oct-2011 Giuseppe CAVALLARO <peppe.cavallaro@st.com>

stmmac: add CHAINED descriptor mode support (V4)

This patch enhances the STMMAC driver to support CHAINED mode of
descriptor.

STMMAC supports DMA descriptor to operate both in dual buffer(RING)
and linked-list(CHAINED) mode. In RING mode (default) each descriptor
points to two data buffer pointers whereas in CHAINED mode they point
to only one data buffer pointer.

In CHAINED mode each descriptor will have pointer to next descriptor in
the list, hence creating the explicit chaining in the descriptor itself,
whereas such explicit chaining is not possible in RING mode.

First version of this work has been done by Rayagond.
Then the patch has been reworked avoiding ifdef inside the C code.
A new header file has been added to define all the functions needed for
managing enhanced and normal descriptors.
In fact, these have to be specialized according to the ring/chain usage.
Two new C files have been also added to implement the helper routines
needed to manage: jumbo frames, chain and ring setup (i.e. desc3).
