Behave just like the CS8900A driver: Both the CS8900A and the LAN91C96 dynamically share a buffer for received packets and packets to be send. If the chip is exposed to a network with a lot of broadcasts the shared buffer might fill quicker with received packets than the 6502 reads them (via polling). So we might need to drop some received packets in order to be able to send anything at all.
ipv4/uip.c will not even be include in the list of sources in the first place if we are building with NETSTACK_CONF_WITH_IPV6 (CONTIKI_WITH_IPV6). Thus, there is no longer a need to wrap the entire source code in an #if guard.
Closes#935
OR-ing an offset to a base address instead of adding it is dangerous
because it can only work if the base address is aligned enough for the
offset.
Moreover, if the base address or the offset has a value unknown at
compile time, then the assembly instructions dedicated to 'base +
offset' addressing on most CPUs can't be emitted by the compiler because
this would require the alignment of the base address against the offset
to be known in order to optimize 'base | offset' into 'base + offset'.
In that case, the compiler has to emit more instructions in order to
compute 'base | offset' on most CPUs, e.g. on ARM, which means larger
binary size and slower execution.
Hence, replace all occurrences of 'base | offset' with 'base + offset'.
This must become a coding rule.
Here are the results for the cc2538-demo example:
- Compilation of uart_init():
* before:
REG(regs->base | UART_CC) = 0;
200b78: f446 637c orr.w r3, r6, #4032 ; 0xfc0
200b7c: f043 0308 orr.w r3, r3, #8
200b80: 2200 movs r2, #0
200b82: 601a str r2, [r3, #0]
* now:
REG(regs->base + UART_CC) = 0;
200b7a: 2300 movs r3, #0
200b7c: f8c4 3fc8 str.w r3, [r4, #4040] ; 0xfc8
- Size of the .text section:
* before: 0x4c7c
* now: 0x4c28
* saved: 84 bytes

Several platforms defined compressions modes values:
SICSLOWPAN_CONF_COMPRESSION_IPV6
SICSLOWPAN_CONF_COMPRESSION_HC1
SICSLOWPAN_CONF_COMPRESSION_HC01
instead of using the global SICSLOWPAN_COMPRESSION_LEVEL definitions
It makes sense to test cc2538dk with the toolchain recommended in the README (GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors) rather than the one which was being used two years ago (Sourcery G++ Lite)
