====================
DSA driver for Vitesse Felix switch
This series builds upon the previous "Accomodate DSA front-end into
Ocelot" topic and does the following:
- Reworks the Ocelot (VSC7514) driver to support one more switching core
(VSC9959), used in NPI mode. Some code which was thought to be
SoC-specific (ocelot_board.c) wasn't, and vice versa, so it is being
accordingly moved.
- Exports ocelot driver structures and functions to include/soc/mscc.
- Adds a DSA ocelot front-end for VSC9959, which is a PCI device and
uses the exported ocelot functionality for hardware configuration.
- Adds a tagger driver for the Vitesse injection/extraction DSA headers.
This is known to be compatible with at least Ocelot and Felix.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
This supports an Ethernet switching core from Vitesse / Microsemi /
Microchip (VSC9959) which is part of the Ocelot family (a brand name),
and whose code name is Felix. The switch can be (and is) integrated on
different SoCs as a PCIe endpoint device.
The functionality is provided by the core of the Ocelot switch driver
(drivers/net/ethernet/mscc). In this regard, the current driver is an
instance of Microsemi's Ocelot core driver, with a DSA front-end. It
inherits its name from VSC9959's code name, to distinguish itself from
the switchdev ocelot driver.
The patch adds the logic for probing a PCI device and defines the
register map for the VSC9959 switch core, since it has some differences
in register addresses and bitfield mappings compared to the other Ocelot
switches (VSC7511, VSC7512, VSC7513, VSC7514).
The Felix driver declares the register map as part of the "instance
table". Currently the VSC9959 inside NXP LS1028A is the only instance,
but presumably it can support other switches in the Ocelot family, when
used in DSA mode (Linux running on the external CPU, and not on the
embedded MIPS).
In a few cases, some h/w operations have to be done differently on
VSC9959 due to missing bitfields. This is the case for the switch core
reset and init. Because for this operation Ocelot uses some bits that
are not present on Felix, the latter has to use a register from the
global registers block (GCB) instead.
Although it is a PCI driver, it relies on DT bindings for compatibility
with DSA (CPU port link, PHY library). It does not have any custom
device tree bindings, since we would like to minimize its dependency on
device tree though.

While it is entirely possible that this tagger format is in fact more
generic than just these 2 switch families, I don't have that knowledge.
The Seville switch in NXP T1040 has a similar frame format, but there
are enough differences (e.g. DEST field starts at bit 57 instead of 56)
that calling this file tag_vitesse.c is a bit of a stretch at the
moment. The frame format has been listed in a comment so that people who
add support for further Vitesse switches can rework this tagger while
keeping compatibility with Felix.
The "ocelot" name was chosen instead of "felix" because even the Ocelot
switch can act as a DSA device when it is used in NPI mode, and the Felix
tagger format is almost identical. Currently it is only used for the
Felix switch embedded in the NXP LS1028A chip.
The ABI for this tagger should be considered "not stable" at the moment.
The DSA tag is always placed before the Ethernet header and therefore,
we are using the long prefix for RX tags to avoid putting the DSA master
port in promiscuous mode. Once there will be an API in DSA for drivers
to request DSA masters to be in promiscuous mode unconditionally, we
will switch to the "no prefix" extraction frame header, which will save
16 padding bytes for each RX frame.

Commit 0c3cbbf96d ("mlxsw: Add specific trap for packets routed via
invalid nexthops") allocated an adjacency entry during driver
initialization whose purpose is to discard packets hitting the route
pointing to it.
These adjacency entries are allocated from a resource called KVD linear
(KVDL). There are situations in which the user can decide to set the
size of this resource (via devlink-resource) to 0, in which case the
driver will not be able to load.
Therefore, instead of pre-allocating this adjacency entry, simply
allocate it only when needed. A variable indicating the validity of the
entry is added and is used to ensure it is only allocated and written
once and that it is freed after all the routes were flushed.

qeth_core_free_card() is meant to be the counterpart of

This gets messy when qeth_core_probe_device() fails during

yet, so qeth_free_qdio_queues() ends up operating on uninitialized data.
Luckily for now, the whole qeth_card struct is zero-allocated and the value

from this bug at the moment, it's just really fragile.

Each RX buffer may contain up to 64KB worth of data. In case the device
needs to discard a packet _after_ already having reserved space for it
in the buffer, the whole buffer gets set to ERROR state. As the buffer
might contain any number of good packets, this can result in collateral
packet loss.
qeth can provide relief by enabling per-frame invalidation. The RX
buffer is then presented as usual, we just need to spot & drop any
individual packet that was flagged as invalid.
