For the entire series:
Tested-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni at free-electrons.com>
tested on:
* Armada XP DB, DT-based, which uses the mvneta driver. It is affected
by the 3 first commits since Armada XP also uses the mvmdio driver.
* Kirkwood development board, non-DT, which uses the mv643xx_eth
driver.
Thanks Florian for this work,
Thomas
