mlxbf_gige: add BlueField-3 support
This patch series adds driver logic to the "mlxbf_gige"
Ethernet driver in order to support the third generation
BlueField SoC (BF3). The existing "mlxbf_gige" driver is
extended with BF3-specific logic and run-time decisions
are made by the driver depending on the SoC generation
(BF2 vs. BF3).
The BF3 SoC is similar to BF2 SoC with regards to transmit
and receive packet processing:
* Driver rings usage; consumer & producer indices
* Single queue for receive and transmit
* DMA operation
The differences between BF3 and BF2 SoC are:
* In addition to supporting 1Gbps interface speed, the BF3 SoC
adds support for 10Mbps and 100Mbps interface speeds
* BF3 requires SerDes config logic to support its SGMII interface
* BF3 adds support for "ethtool -s" for interface speed config
* BF3 utilizes different MDIO logic for accessing the
board-level PHY device
Testing
- Successful build of kernel for ARM64, ARM32, X86_64
- Tested ARM64 build on FastModels, Palladium, SoC

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 Restructured Text 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.
