This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.
However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.
No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

Most of the older home routers based on the Broadcom BCM47XX SoC series
are using a MAC that is supported by b44. On most of these routers not
the internal PHY of this MAC core is used, but a switch sometimes on an
external chip or integrated into the same SoC as the Ethernet core.
For this switch a special PHY driver is needed which should not be
integrated into b44 as the same switches are also used by other
Broadcom home networking SoCs which are using different Ethernet MAC
drivers. This was tested with the b53 switch driver which is currently
on its way to mainline.
If the internal PHY is not used, b44 will now search on the MDIO bus
for a phy and use the Linux phylib subsystem to register a driver.
Support for the internal PHY must stay here, because there are some
device which are suing the internal phy.
With this patch we scan the mdio bus when the sprom or nvram says that
the PHY address is 30, if a PHY was found at this address b44 uses it.
This was tested with a BCM4704, BCM4712 and BCM5354.

bgmac uses bcm47xx_nvram.h which is only available when BCM47XX was
selected. Earlier BCMA_HOST_SOC depended on BCM47XX so this was not
build on any other archs, but that changed. We should modify this
driver to get access to the nvram or the variables through platform
data.
This fixes a build problem in linux-next reported by Stephen Rothwell:

All drivers that select MII also need to select NET_CORE because MII
depends on it. This is a bit ridiculous because NET_CORE is just a
menu option that doesn't enable any code by itself.
There is also no need for it to be a visible option, since its users
all select it.

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

In this patch the SR-IOV code is segregated from the main bulk of
the bnx2x code. The CONFIG_BNX2X_SRIOV define is added to Broadcom's
Kconfig, and allows the elision of the building of all the SR-IOV
support code in the driver.
The define is dependant on the kernel CONFIG_PCI_IOV configuration
define.

There is the seldom used corner case where HWMON=m at the same
time as TIGON3=y (typically randconfigs) which will cause a link
fail like:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `tg3_close':
tg3.c:(.text+0x16bd86): undefined reference to `hwmon_device_unregister'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `tg3_hwmon_open':
tg3.c:(.text+0x16fc4b): undefined reference to `hwmon_device_register'
make[1]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
Fix it as suggested by DaveM[1] by having the Kconfig logic simply
select HWMON when TIGON3 is selected. This gets rid of all the
extra IS_ENABLED ifdeffery in tg3.c as a side benefit.

MII Kconfig option is apart of the core networking drivers and
by default NET_CORE is enabled so drivers selecting MII will
have MII enabled as well. It was found using the randconfig
option during testing, MII would be selected but NET_CORE
could be disabled. This caused a dependency error.
Resolved the dependency by selecting NET_CORE when MII is
selected.

Based on finds for Stephen Rothwell, where current defconfig's
enable a ethernet driver and it is not compiled due to the newly
added NET_VENDOR_* component of Kconfig.
This patch enables all the "new" Kconfig options so that current
defconfig's will continue to compile the expected drivers. In
addition, by enabling all the new Kconfig options does not add
any un-expected options.
