This is V4 of stmmac selftest fixes, addressing Sashiko's issues over
the MTU patch. This lead to the introduction of a new one. The
dev_add_pack races have been addressed, however the double-vlan issue
stayed there. Ovidiu is actively working on it, let's wait for his work
to land before fixing that.

Nicolai, I took the liberty of keeping your review tags on affected
patches, let me know if this isn't ok.

This is another round of stmmac selftest fixes, mostly about the selftests
themselves but a few things were discovered w.r.t MTU and buffer size
handling, see patch 5 anf 6.

After this is merged, I consider the selftests to be now reliable enough
to run them nightly on every stmmac series that's sent, and I'll be requiring
clean selftests for new glue drivers.  

This got to the top of the stack for me, LMK if none of the AI feedback
is legit. You mentioned the VLAN one, not sure about the rest.
The EEE complaints look like nit picks but also some are easily
addressable? LMK..  

Thanks for applying :)

Much greener now :

Nice :)

BTW - I see you have a thing called "netdev series report"
I've been meaning to ask someone if they want us to add to SUIE
subsystem tracking (https://netdev.bots.linux.dev/suie.html)
I could easily add a drop down to filter just stmmac patches there.
On the scale of 1 to 10 how useful would that be?
Is there something beyond "active series" that you need to see?
