Daniel Machon 1cd7523f4b net: lan969x: fix cyclic dependency reported by depmod
Depmod reports a cyclic dependency between modules sparx5-switch.ko and
lan969x-switch.ko:

depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: lan969x_switch -> sparx5_switch -> lan969x_switch
depmod: ERROR: Found 2 modules in dependency cycles!
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modinst:132: depmod] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:224: __sub-make] Error 2

This makes sense, as they both require symbols from each other.

Fix this by compiling lan969x support into the sparx5-switch.ko module.
In order to do this, in a sensible way, we move the lan969x/ dir into
the sparx5/ dir and do some code cleanup of code that is no longer
required.

After this patch, depmod will no longer complain, as lan969x support is
compiled into the sparx5-swicth.ko module, and can no longer be compiled
as a standalone module.

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.
