Add airoha_eth driver in order to introduce ethernet support for
Airoha EN7581 SoC available on EN7581 development board (en7581-evb).
EN7581 mac controller is mainly composed by the Frame Engine (PSE+PPE)
and QoS-DMA (QDMA) modules. FE is used for traffic offloading (just
basic functionalities are currently supported) while QDMA is used for
DMA operations and QOS functionalities between the mac layer and the
external modules conncted to the FE GDM ports (e.g MT7530 DSA switch
or external phys).
A general overview of airoha_eth architecture is reported below:

Currently only hw LAN features (QDMA1+GDM1) are available while hw WAN
(QDMA2+GDM{2,3,4}) ones will be added with subsequent patches introducing
traffic offloading support.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
