Update the mdio-netlink kmod and userspace mdio-tools to version 1.3.1.
[v1.3.1] - 2023-12-02
---------------------
Fixes mvls to work with kernels 6.2 and onwards.
- mdio: Multiple registers can now be dumped at once, via the generic
dump operation.
- mvls: Relax the driver matching to accept the strings used in
kernels 6.2 and newer.

Update the mdio-netlink kmod and userspace mdio-tools to version 1.3.0.
[v1.3.0] - 2023-07-24
---------------------
Primarily widen the gamut of supported kernel versions, now supporting
all kernels from 5.2 and onwards.
- mvls: Support for 88E6320/88E6321
- mdio-netlink: Adapt to the upstream C22/C45 refactor.

Update the mdio-netlink kmod and userspace mdio-tools to version 1.2.0.
This allows dropping the time64 musl patch which was upstreamed.
[v1.2.0] - 2022-09-15
---------------------
- mdio: A new addressing mode "mmd-c22": Used to access MMDs attached
to MDIO controllers without Clause 45 support by using registers 13
and 14 in the device's Clause 22 register space
- mdio: Pretty print gigabit link capability information from a PHY's
extended status register
- mdio: Pretty print lots of status information from MMDs (C45 PHYs)
- mvls: Decode priority override information of ATU entries
- mvls: Table listings now always prints out the device information,
even on single chip systems.

mdio-tools have a app dedicated to reading Marvell Link Street switch
properties which is really usefull to not have to manually do it via
MDIO.
So, install the mvls binary as well.

Update the mdio-netlink kmod and userspace mdio-tools to version 1.1.1.
mdio-tools required a musl time64 compatibility fix that I have an PR
open for already.
Changelog:
[v1.1.1] - 2022-05-23
---------------------
Tiny bugfix release.
- mdio: The bench operation is now much more reliable when stacked on
other devices than regular PHYs (e.g. paged PHYs or Marvell
switches).
- mvls: The STU can now be dumped chips from the Peridot generation.
[v1.1.0] - 2022-05-04
---------------------
A sprawling release, adding various mvls related introspection
features. mvls also gains a JSON output format.
- mvls: The STU can now be dumped (requires Linux 5.17 or later). This
is useful now that mv88e6xxx supports offloading of MST states
- mvls: Output can now be formatted as JSON for easier scripting
- mdio: mvls: A subset of MIB counters can now be dumped. This let's
you get at counters for DSA ports, which are not reachable from
ethtool
- mdio: mvls: The LAG mask and LAG map tables can now be dumped
- mdio: Improve usage message by including the examples from the
manual

Version 1.0.1 brought the following changes:
[v1.0.1] - 2021-11-26
Primarily fixes a few issues in the kernel module that were found
during a quick review from Russell King:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/YYPThd7aX+TBWslz@shell.armlinux.org.uk/https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/YYPU1gOvUPa00JWg@shell.armlinux.org.uk/
- mdio: The mvls subcommand now supports flushing the ATU
- mdio-netlink: Plug some glaring holes around integer overflows of
the PC.
- mdio-netlink: Release reference to MDIO bus after a transaction
completes.
So, update to the latest version and switch the kernel module back
to fetching tarballs like the userspace tool does.

Upstream released 1.0.0, so change the package to the git tag 1.0.0
Mainly documentation and argument handling changes

On buildbots the build fails because git isn't finding any git repo and
then AC_INIT refuses to run:
fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
configure.ac:5: error: AC_INIT should be called with package and version arguments
Address this by substituting the git command with $(PKG_VERSION).

mdio is a low-level Linux debug tool for communicating with devices attached an MDIO bus. It improves on existing tools in this space in a few important ways:
MDIO buses are directly addressable. Previous solutions relied on at least one Ethernet PHY on the bus being attached to a net device, which is typically not the case when the device is an Ethernet switch for example.
Complex operations can be performed atomically. The old API only supported a single read or write of a single register. mdio sends byte code to the mdio-netlink kernel module that can perform multiple operations, store intermediate values, loop etc. As a result, things like read/mask/write operations and accesses to paged PHYs can be performed safely.
