[U-Boot] [PATCH V3] net: fec_mxc: allow use with cache enabled

[Marek Vasut]

Dear Eric Nelson,

> 	ensure that transmit and receive buffers are cache-line aligned
>         invalidate cache for each packet as received
> 	update receive buffer descriptors one cache line at a time
>         flush cache before transmitting

> V2 addresses some concerns from the ML:

> 	- &rbd_base[0] == rbd_base
> 	removed 'volatile' from fec_send().

> V3 updates from ML (and Marek):
> 	consolidated CONFIG_FEC_DATA_ALIGNMENT and CONFIG_FEC_DESC_ALIGNMENT
> 	added cache flushes after initialization of TBD/RBD

Check PPC and let's go with ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN

We should keep these checks in case some obscure platform appears.

Otherwise, we're almost there Eric! Great work !!
