The bcma portion of the driver has been split off into a bcma specific
driver. This has been mirrored for the platform driver. The last
references to the bcma core struct have been changed into a generic
function call. These function calls are wrappers to either the original
bcma code or new platform functions that access the same areas via MMIO.
This necessitated adding function pointers for both platform and bcma to
hide which backend is being used from the generic bgmac code.

Move the BCMA MDIO phy into a separate file, as it is very tightly
coupled with the BCMA bus. This will help with the upcoming BCMA
removal from the bgmac driver. Optimally, this should be moved into
phy drivers, but it is too tightly coupled with the bgmac driver to
effectively move it without more changes to the driver.
Note: the phy_reset was intentionally removed, as the mdio phy subsystem
automatically resets the phy if a reset function pointer is present. In
addition to the moving of the driver, this reset function is added.

Broadcom ethernet driver for the new family of NetXtreme-C/E
ethernet devices.
v5:
- Removed empty blank lines at end of files (noted by David Miller).
- Moved busy poll helper functions to bnxt.h to at least make the
.c file look less cluttered with #ifdef (noted by Stephen Hemminger).
v4:
- Broke up 2 long message strings with "\n" (suggested by John Linville)
- Constify an array of strings (suggested by Stephen Hemminger)
- Improve bnxt_vf_pciid() (suggested by Stephen Hemminger)
- Use PCI_VDEVICE() to populate pci_device_id table for more compact
source.
v3:
- Fixed 2 more sparse warnings.
- Removed some unused structures in .h files.
v2:
- Fixed all kbuild test robot reported warnings.
- Fixed many of the checkpatch.pl errors and warnings.
- Fixed the Kconfig description (noted by Dmitry Kravkov).

This patch adds a new configuration symbol: CONFIG_BCMGENET which allows
us to build the Broadcom GENET driver and hook the driver files into the
build system.

BCMA is a Broadcom specific bus with devices AKA cores. All recent BCMA
based SoCs have gigabit ethernet provided by the GBit MAC core. This
patch adds driver for such a cores registering itself as a netdev. It
has been tested on a BCM4706 and BCM4718 chipsets.
In the kernel tree there is already b44 driver which has some common
things with bgmac, however there are many differences that has led to
the decision or writing a new driver:
1) GBit MAC cores appear on BCMA bus (not SSB as in case of b44)
2) There is 64bit DMA engine which differs from 32bit one
3) There is no CAM (Content Addressable Memory) in GBit MAC
4) We have 4 TX queues on GBit MAC devices (instead of 1)
5) Many registers have different addresses/values
6) RX header flags are also different
The driver in it's state is functional how, however there is of course
place for improvements:
1) Supporting more net_device_ops
2) SUpporting more ethtool_ops
3) Unaligned addressing in DMA
4) Writing separated PHY driver

Moves the drivers for Broadcom devices into
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/ and the necessary Kconfig and Makefile
changes.
