The first two patches of this series extends the MAC statistics support
to also work for network interfaces which have their link status handled
by firmware (TYPE_FIXED).
The next two patches are fixing a sporadic problem which happens when
the connected DPMAC object is not yet discovered by the fsl-mc bus, thus
the dpaa2-eth is not able to get a reference to it. A referred probe
will be requested in this case.
Finally, the last two patches make some cosmetic changes, mostly
removing comments and unnecessary checks.
Changes in v2:
- replaced IS_ERR_OR_NULL() by IS_ERR() in patch 4/6
- reworded the commit message of patch 6/6
Ioana Ciornei (6):
dpaa2-mac: split up initializing the MAC object from connecting to it
dpaa2-mac: export MAC counters even when in TYPE_FIXED
bus: fsl-mc: return -EPROBE_DEFER when a device is not yet discovered
dpaa2-eth: retry the probe when the MAC is not yet discovered on the
bus
dpaa2-mac: remove an unnecessary check
dpaa2-mac: remove a comment regarding pause settings
