Should we maybe move the dw_mac driver out of the stmicro directory into
synopsys as a preparation, to keep them in the same place?

I think you should get rid of this debugging output for the final version that
gets included. If anyone needs to still do debugging on this level, they can
always put it back.

__raw_readl/__raw_writel is the wrong interface here, you should use
either readl/writel or (for better performance, but understanding what
it means for barriers) readl_relaxed/writel_relaxed.

If you want to keep the wrapper function, it makes more sense to pass
the net_local structure rather than the iomem pointer, but you can also
just open-code the readl_relaxed.

The volatile is probably unnecessary, possibly wrong here.

seems not to be used.

dma_mapping_error() is never true when dma_addr_t is longer than 'u32'
here. Better get rid of the cast above.

Using '0' as the gfp flag looks wrong, better use GFP_KERNEL.

This is really evil: you are blocking the CPU for up to two seconds!
You already mentioned that this is work-in-progress, but I guess it has
to be a little better than this and do something that doesn't block
out the CPU during TX.

IIRC, you shouldn't need lock here, as only one CPU is in the poll
function for a given queue.

You should probably do the tx reclaim in this function as well.

Just put the entire definition here, rather than just the forward
declaration.

of_get_mac_address() is an empty function if CONFIG_OF is not
set. That means you can just remove the #ifdef here, in particular
since you don't actually support running this driver without a valid
DT.

You should also add a DT binding document.

I generally recommend putting these definitions into the .c file in cases
where you only have a single file for the driver anyway.

I find it more readable to use hexadecimal notation here

#define DWCEQOS_DMA_MODE_SWR		0x0001
#define DWCEQOS_DMA_MODE_DA		0x0002
#define DWCEQOS_DMA_MODE_TXPR		0x0800
#define DWCEQOS_DMA_SYSBUS_MB		0x4000

Bit fields are always problematic for hardware structures, in particular
regarding endianess. It's better to avoid them completely and use macros
