drivers: ethernet: Add platform driver for MMIO mapping reuse
The Ethernet device model consists of multiple subsystem components, such
as MDIO, PHY, MAC and PTP_CLOCK. These components are mapped into a single
PCIe BAR location with same base address.
This platform driver retrieves the MMIO mapping details and provides a
framework to share it with all the child subsystem components. This
approach avoid the duplicate remapping, ensures efficient re-use of
MMIO mappings across related devices.
Example device tree structure for first ethernet instance:
parent0: parent0 {
compatible = "intel,eth-plat";
interrupt-parent = <&intc>;
vendor-id = <0x8086>;
device-id = <0xXXXX>;
igc0: igc0 {
compatible = "intel,igc-mac";
/*
* MAC specific properties.
*/
status = "okay";
};
mdio0: mdio0 {
compatible = "intel,igc-mdio";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
ethphy0: ethernet-phy@0 {
compatible = "ethernet-phy";
/*
* PHY specific properties.
*/
reg = <0x0>;
};
};
};
This framework is modular and re-usable for other PCIe based Ethernet
devices. It can also be extended to support additional platform specific
information shared across child nodes.
