NXP Legal insists that the following are not fine:
- Saying "NXP Semiconductors" instead of "NXP", since the company's
registered name is "NXP"
- Putting a "(c)" sign in the copyright string
- Putting a comma in the copyright string
The only accepted copyright string format is "Copyright <year-range> NXP".
This patch changes the copyright headers in the networking files that
were sent by me, or derived from code sent by me.

Make sure that the link status returned by phy_startup() is propagated
to the .start() method of struct eth_ops.

It is an unfortunate reality that some PHY settings done by U-Boot
persist even after the PHY is reset and taken over by Linux, and even
more unfortunate that Linux has come to depend on things being set in a
certain way.
For example, on the NXP LS1028A-RDB, the felix switch ports are
connected to a VSC8514 QSGMII PHY. Between the switch port PCS and the
PHY, the U-Boot drivers enable in-band auto-negotiation which makes the
copper-side negotiated speed and duplex be transmitted from the PHY to
the MAC automatically.
The PHY driver portion that does this is in vsc8514_config():
/* Enable Serdes Auto-negotiation */
phy_write(phydev, MDIO_DEVAD_NONE, PHY_EXT_PAGE_ACCESS,
PHY_EXT_PAGE_ACCESS_EXTENDED3);
val = phy_read(phydev, MDIO_DEVAD_NONE, MIIM_VSC8514_MAC_SERDES_CON);
val = val | MIIM_VSC8574_MAC_SERDES_ANEG;
phy_write(phydev, MDIO_DEVAD_NONE, MIIM_VSC8514_MAC_SERDES_CON, val);
The point is that in-band autoneg should be turned on in both the PHY
and the MAC, or off in both the PHY and the MAC, otherwise the QSGMII
link will be broken.
And because phy_config() is currently called at .port_enable() time, the
result is that ports on which traffic has been sent in U-Boot will have
in-band autoneg enabled, and the rest won't.
It can be argued that the Linux kernel should not assume one way or
another and just reinitialize everything according to what it expects,
and that is completely fair. In fact, I've already started an attempt to
remove this dependency, although admittedly I am making slow progress at
it:

Nonetheless, the sad reality is that NXP also has, apart from kernel
drivers, some user space networking (DPDK), and for some reason, the
expectation there is that somebody else initializes the PHYs. The kernel
can't do it because the device ownership doesn't belong to the kernel,
so what remains is for the bootloader to do it (especially since other
drivers generally call phy_config() at probe time). This is a really
weak guarantee that might break at any time, but apparently that is
enough for some.
Since initializing the ports and PHYs at probe time does not break
anything, we can just do that.

This driver is used for the Ethernet switch integrated into LS1028A NXP.
Felix on LS1028A has 4 front panel ports and two internal ports, I/O
to/from the switch is done through an ENETC Ethernet interface.
The 4 front panel ports are available as Ethernet interfaces and can be
used with the typical network commands like tftp.
