net: enetc: add basic support for the ENETC with pseudo MAC for i.MX94
The ENETC with pseudo MAC is an internal port which connects to the CPU
port of the switch. The switch CPU/host ENETC is fully integrated with
the switch and does not require a back-to-back MAC, instead a light
weight "pseudo MAC" provides the delineation between switch and ENETC.
This translates to lower power (less logic and memory) and lower delay
(as there is no serialization delay across this link).
Different from the standalone ENETC which is used as the external port,
the internal ENETC has a different PCIe device ID, and it does not have
Ethernet MAC port registers, instead, it has a small number of pseudo
MAC port registers, so some features are not supported by pseudo MAC,
such as loopback, half duplex, one-step timestamping and so on.
Therefore, the configuration of this internal ENETC is also somewhat
different from that of the standalone ENETC. So add the basic support
for ENETC with pseudo MAC. More supports will be added in the future.
