We are adding the Cavium OCTEON-III network driver. But since interacting with the input and output queues is done via special CPU local memory, we also need to add support to the MIPS/Octeon architecture code. Aren't SoCs nice in this way? The first five patches add the SoC support needed by the driver, the last two add the driver and an entry in MAINTAINERS. Since these touch several subsystems, I would propose merging via netdev, but defer to the maintainers if they think something else would work better. A separate pull request was recently done by Steven Hill for the firmware required by the driver. Carlos Munoz (5): dt-bindings: Add Cavium Octeon Common Ethernet Interface. MIPS: Octeon: Enable LMTDMA/LMTST operations. MIPS: Octeon: Add a global resource manager. MIPS: Octeon: Add Free Pointer Unit (FPA) support. netdev: octeon-ethernet: Add Cavium Octeon III support. David Daney (2): MIPS: Octeon: Automatically provision CVMSEG space.
