The two functions: sparx5_fdma_{start(),stop()} are responsible for a
number of things, namely: allocation and initialization of FDMA buffers,
activation FDMA channels in hardware and activation of the NAPI
instance.
This patch splits the buffer allocation and initialization into init and
deinit functions, and the channel and NAPI activation into start and
stop functions. This serves two purposes: 1) the start() and stop()
functions can be reused for lan969x and 2) prepares for future MTU
change support, where we must be able to stop and start the FDMA
channels and NAPI instance, without free'ing and reallocating the FDMA
buffers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
