      ====================
      net: fs_enet: Remove non NAPI RX and add NAPI for TX
      
      When using a MPC8xx as a router, 'perf' shows a significant time spent in
      fs_enet_interrupt() and fs_enet_start_xmit().
      'perf annotate' shows that the time spent in fs_enet_start_xmit is indeed spent
      between spin_unlock_irqrestore() and the following instruction, hence in
      interrupt handling. This is due to the TX complete interrupt that fires after
      each transmitted packet.
      This patchset first remove all non NAPI handling as NAPI has become the only
      mode for RX, then adds NAPI for handling TX complete.
      This improves NAT TCP throughput by 21% on MPC885 with FEC.

      This patch modifies the handling of TX complete to use NAPI.
      With this patch, my NAT router offers a throughput improved by 21%

      In the probe function, use_napi is inconditionnaly set to 1. This patch removes
      all the code which is conditional to !use_napi, and removes use_napi which has
      then become useless.

      r8169:add support for RTL8168EP · 935e2218
      Chun-Hao Lin authored
      RTL8168EP is Realtek PCIe Gigabit Ethernet controller with DASH support.
      It is a successor chip of RTL8168DP.
      
      For RTL8168EP, the read/write ocp register is via eri channel type 2, so I
      move ocp_xxx() related functions under rtl_eri_xxx. And use r8168dp_ocp_xxx()
      for RTL8168DP ocp read/write, r8168ep_ocp_xxx() for RTL8168EP ocp read/write.
      
      The way of checking dash enable is different with RTL8168DP. I use
      r8168dp_check_dash()for RTL8168DP and r8168ep_check_dash() for RTL8168EP,
      to check if dash is enabled.
      
      The driver_start() and driver_stop() of RTL8168EP is also different with
      RTL8168DP. I use rtl8168dp_driver_xxx() for RTL8168DP and
      rtl8168ep_driver_xxx for RTL8168EP.
      
      Right now, RTL8168EP phy mcu did not need firmware code patch, so I did not
      add firmware code for it.
