8b8091fbf4 ibm_newemac: select CRC32 in Kconfig
The ibm_newemac driver requires ether_crc to be defined.  Apparently it is
possible to generate a .config without CONFIG_CRC32 set which causes the
following link errors if IBM_NEW_EMAC is selected:

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
drivers/built-in.o: In function `emac_hash_mc':
core.c:(.text+0x2f524): undefined reference to `crc32_le'
core.c:(.text+0x2f528): undefined reference to `bitrev32'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

This patch has IBM_NEW_EMAC select CRC32 so we don't hit this error.

1d3bb99648 Device tree aware EMAC driver
Based on BenH's earlier work, this is a new version of the EMAC driver
for the built-in ethernet found on PowerPC 4xx embedded CPUs.  The
same ASIC is also found in the Axon bridge chip.  This new version is
designed to work in the arch/powerpc tree, using the device tree to
probe the device, rather than the old and ugly arch/ppc OCP layer.

This driver is designed to sit alongside the old driver (that lies in
drivers/net/ibm_emac and this one in drivers/net/ibm_newemac).  The
old driver is left in place to support arch/ppc until arch/ppc itself
reaches its final demise (not too long now, with luck).

This driver still has a number of things that could do with cleaning
up, but I think they can be fixed up after merging.  Specifically:
	- Should be adjusted to properly use the dma mapping API.
Axon needs this.
	- Probe logic needs reworking, in conjuction with the general
probing code for of_platform devices.  The dependencies here between
EMAC, MAL, ZMII etc. make this complicated.  At present, it usually
works, because we initialize and register the sub-drivers before the
EMAC driver itself, and (being in driver code) runs after the devices
themselves have been instantiated from the device tree.
