It's important that buffer descriptors are aligned in accordance to GMAC
data bus width (32/64/128-bit). It's safe to align to 128-bit (16-bytes)
for every bus width type.
If buffer descriptor is improperly aligned GMAC discards lower bits of
provided address and as a result reads from improper location that
doesn't match expected fields.
Commit ef76025a99 "net: Multiple
updates/enhancements to designware.c" introduced another structure
member "link_printed" right before buffer descriptors while "padding"
member was left untouched. This together with alignment of structure
itself to 16-byte boundary forces buffer descriptoprs always to be
4-byte aligned that causes driver complete disfunction if GMAC bus width
is 64 or 128-bit.
Proposed change makes sure all buffer descriptors are 16-byte (128-bit)
aligned.

Patch: 277902
This patch adds the following changes to designware ethernet driver
found on the ST SPEAr SoC:
- Don't init MAC & PHY upon startup. This causes a delay, waiting for
the auto negotiation to complete. And we don't want this delay to
always happen. Especially not on platforms where ethernet is not
used at all (e.g. booting via flash).
Instead postpone the MAC / PHY configuration to the stage, where
ethernet is first used.
- Add possibility for board specific PHY init code. This is needed
for example on the X600 board, where the Vitesse PHY needs to be
configured for GMII mode.
This board specific PHY init is done via the function
designware_board_phy_init(). And this driver now adds a weak default
which can be overridden by board code.
- Use common functions miiphy_speed() & miiphy_duplex() to read
link status from PHY.
- Print status and progress of auto negotiation.
- Print link status (speed, dupex) upon first usage.

Few Designware peripheral registers need to be modified based on the
ethernet interface selected by the board. This patch supports interface
information in ethernet driver

Phy autonegotiation works only when the ethernet cable is plugged in.
Since the phy was configured only at the init time, a plugged in cable
was necessary to initialize the phy properly.
This patch keeps a flag to check if the phy initialization has
succeeded, and calls configure_phy routine at every init if this flag
reports otherwise.

The max frame length for normal descriptor can be 0x7FF i.e 2047. It was wrongly
specified as 2048. Currently, the max descriptor length is around 1500, so
redefining the mask to 1600
