The new REG_PRBS_CNTRL and REG_PRBS_STATUS registers expose controls of internal
PRBS generators and checkers allowing the testing the multi-gigabit serial link
at the physical layer without the need of the link layer bringup.
Expose the TX configurable driver ports, more specifically the
TX_DIFFCTRL, TX_POSTCURSORE and TX_PRECURSORE for software. This
provides a soft tunning capability of the transmit side of the
transceivers, in cases where the insertion loss of the channel is too
high or low, comparing to the default value supported by the default
configuration of the GTs.
You can find information about these configuration ports under the
section called 'TX Configurable Driver' in the GT transceivers user
guide. (UG476, UG576)
The standard Makefile output is very noisy and it can be difficult to
filter the interesting information from this noise.
In quiet mode the standard Makefile output will be suppressed and instead a
short human readable description of the current task is shown.
E.g.
> make adv7511.zed
Building axi_clkgen library [library/axi_clkgen/axi_clkgen_ip.log] ... OK
Building axi_hdmi_tx library [library/axi_hdmi_tx/axi_hdmi_tx_ip.log] ... OK
Building axi_i2s_adi library [library/axi_i2s_adi/axi_i2s_adi_ip.log] ... OK
Building axi_spdif_tx library [library/axi_spdif_tx/axi_spdif_tx_ip.log] ... OK
Building util_i2c_mixer library [library/util_i2c_mixer/util_i2c_mixer_ip.log] ... OK
Building adv7511_zed project [projects/adv7511/zed/adv7511_zed_vivado.log] ... OK
Quiet mode is enabled by default since it generates a more human readable
output. It can be disabled by passing VERBOSE=1 to make or setting the
VERBOSE environment variable to 1 before calling make.
E.g.
> make adv7511.zed VERBOSE=1
make[1]: Entering directory 'library/axi_clkgen'
rm -rf *.cache *.data *.xpr *.log component.xml *.jou xgui
*.ip_user_files *.srcs *.hw *.sim .Xil .timestamp_altera
vivado -mode batch -source axi_clkgen_ip.tcl >> axi_clkgen_ip.log 2>&1

Currently the individual IP core dependencies are tracked inside the
library Makefile for Xilinx IPs and the project Makefiles only reference
the IP cores.
For Altera on the other hand the individual dependencies are tracked inside
the project Makefile. This leads to a lot of duplicated lists and also
means that the project Makefiles need to be regenerated when one of the IP
cores changes their files.
Change the Altera projects to a similar scheme than the Xilinx projects.
The projects themselves only reference the library as a whole as their
dependency while the library Makefile references the individual source
dependencies.
Since on Altera there is no target that has to be generated create a dummy
target called ".timestamp_altera" who's only purpose is to have a timestamp
that is greater or equal to the timestamp of all of the IP core files. This
means the project Makefile can have a dependency on this file and make sure
that the project will be rebuild if any of the files in the library
changes.
This patch contains quite a bit of churn, but hopefully it reduces the
amount of churn in the future when modifying Altera IP cores.

Make sure that the XML files are re-build when any of the scripts that are
used to generated it are modified.

All the rules to generate the XML files are the same. Reduce the number of
rules by useing wildcard matching for the rule target.

Using interface definitions makes it possible to group pins of a peripheral
into a interface pins. This allows us to use connect_bd_intf_net to connect
all pins of the interface instead of having to manually call connect_bd_net
for each for the pins.
Using interface pins also unclutters the connections in the Vivado block
design view a bit.
