net: atlantic: loopback tests via private flags
Here we add a number of ethtool private flags to allow enabling various loopbacks on HW. Thats useful for verification and bringup works. Signed-off-by: Igor Russkikh <irusskikh@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

+ Private flags (testing)
+ ---------------------------------
+
+ Atlantic driver supports private flags for hardware custom features:
+
+ $ ethtool --show-priv-flags ethX
+
+ Private flags for ethX:
+ DMASystemLoopback : off
+ PKTSystemLoopback : off
+ DMANetworkLoopback : off
+ PHYInternalLoopback: off
+ PHYExternalLoopback: off
+
+ Example:
+
+ $ ethtool --set-priv-flags ethX DMASystemLoopback on
+
+ DMASystemLoopback: DMA Host loopback.
+ PKTSystemLoopback: Packet buffer host loopback.
+ DMANetworkLoopback: Network side loopback on DMA block.
+ PHYInternalLoopback: Internal loopback on Phy.
+ PHYExternalLoopback: External loopback on Phy (with loopback ethernet cable).
