Update the econet-eth driver to a new version which is of
sufficient quality that it is realistic to think about upstreaming.
This version is now NAPI based, collects stats, downloads without
dropped packets anymore, has debugfs introspection, and can be
unloaded and reloaded (providing the reset controller is present).
PR #21545 is recommended but not required, without this the
ethernet driver will log a warning on startup because it can't get
the resets and it will be impossible to unload and reload the
driver without a reboot. However, the PoC driver was not capable of
reloading so this is not a regression.

This is about as simple as it gets, it's able to start up and put
the onboard switch into dumb switch mode and then send untagged
frames which become available on every switch port.
It is out-of-tree to allow for rapid development and it is being
proposed now because even in this state it brings a lot of value
to the EcoNet platform and it is a fairly complex ethernet system
so it will take some time before the driver is in a state that
may be considered for upstreaming.
