Add support for NXP S32 SoC family's GMAC to the stmmac network driver.
This driver implementation is based on the patchset originally contributed

Chester Lin [1], which itself draws heavily from NXP's downstream

Hi Wadim,

Thank you for your upstreaming activities, but I would like to note that
the old NXP S32CC  stmmac glue was rewritten lately and will be part of next
NXP BSP Linux release planned for April.

The rework was done mainly to allow simpler upstreaming process, so I

would recommend

to postpone your current work.

I suggest you working with upstream first instead of claiming that
upstream contributions should align with your downstream work. To be
clear: your downstream NXP BSP does not matter.

Thanks for the suggestion. My intention was not to offend somebody
or break any upstreaming work, sorry if it could sound like this. 

If you think this submission needs any particular changes, then please
comment on specifics, but such broad statement that community should
wait till NXP will be so kind to allow upstream work is just not acceptable.

Ok, I will contact Wadim directly.

BR.
