This a starting point for a cleanup and re-organization of stmmac.
In this series we stop using hard-coded callbacks along the code and use
instead helpers which are defined in a single place ("hwif.h").
This brings several advantages:
1) Less typing :)
2) Guaranteed function pointer check
3) More flexibility
By 2) we stop using the repeated pattern of:
if (priv->hw->mac->some_func)
priv->hw->mac->some_func(...)
I didn't check but I expect the final .ko will be bigger with this series
because *all* of function pointers are checked.
Anyway, I hope this can make the code more readable and more flexible now.
