Microchip FDMA shared helper library

A shared helper library used by Microchip Ethernet switch drivers to handle Frame DMA operations. It is consumed by other in-tree switchcore drivers rather than binding to any hardware itself.

recommendation

This is not actually a driver directory; it is a small support library exporting helper functions for Microchip's Frame DMA engine. It contains no device probe or bus binding code, so it is not a candidate for removal on its own — its fate is tied to the switch drivers that depend on it.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: contains a shared Microchip FDMA API/helper library (exported symbols, no device probe/remove or bus binding), used by switchcore drivers rather than directly driving hardware.
