    net: bgmac: support Ethernet core on BCM53573 SoCs · 1cb94db3

    BCM53573 is a new series of Broadcom's SoCs. It's based on ARM and can
    be found in two packages (versions): BCM53573 and BCM47189. It shares
    some code with the Northstar family, but also requires some new quirks.
    
    First of all there can be up to 2 Ethernet cores on this SoC. If that is
    the case, they are connected to two different switch ports allowing some
    more complex/optimized setups. It seems the second unit doesn't come
    fully configured and requires some IRQ quirk.
    
    Other than that only the first core is connected to the PHY. For the
    second one we have to register fixed PHY (similarly to the Northstar),
    otherwise generic PHY driver would get some invalid info.
    
    This has been successfully tested on Tenda AC9 (BCM47189B0).
