[net-next,v3,0/9] Add support for Sparx5 IS2 VCAP

  This provides initial support for the Sparx5 VCAP functionality via the
'tc' traffic control userspace tool and its flower filter.

Overview:
=========

The supported flower filter keys and actions are:

- source and destination MAC address keys
- trap action
- pass action

The supported Sparx5 VCAPs are: IS2 (see below for more info)

The VCAP (Versatile Content-Aware Processor) feature is essentially a TCAM
with rules consisting of:

- Programmable key fields
- Programmable action fields
- A counter (which may be only one bit wide)

Besides this each VCAP has:

- A number of independent lookups
- A keyset configuration typically per port per lookup

VCAPs are used in many of the TSN features such as PSFP, PTP, FRER as well
as the general shaping, policing and access control, so it is an important
building block for these advanced features.

Functionality:
==============

When a frame is passed to a VCAP the VCAP will generate a set of keys
(keyset) based on the traffic type.  If there is a rule created with this
keyset in the VCAP and the values of the keys matches the values in the
keyset of the frame, the rule is said to match and the actions in the rule
will be executed and the rule counter will be incremented.  No more rules
will be examined in this VCAP lookup.

If there is no match in the current lookup the frame will be matched
against the next lookup (some VCAPs do the processing of the lookups in
parallel).

The Sparx5 SoC has 6 different VCAP types:

- IS0: Ingress Stage 0 (AKA CLM) mostly handles classification
- IS2: Ingress Stage 2 mostly handles access control
- IP6PFX: IPv6 prefix: Provides tables for IPV6 address management
- LPM: Longest Path Match for IP guarding and routing
- ES0: Egress Stage 0 is mostly used for CPU copying and multicast handling
- ES2: Egress Stage 2 is known as the rewriter and mostly updates tags


Design:
=======

The VCAP implementation provides switchcore independent handling of rules
and supports:

- Creating and deleting rules
- Updating and getting rules

The platform specific API implementation as well as the platform specific
model of the VCAP instances are attached to the VCAP API and a client can
then access rules via the API in a platform independent way, with the
limitations that each VCAP has in terms of is supported keys and actions.

The VCAP model is generated from information delivered by the designers of
the VCAP hardware.

Here is an illustration of this:

Delivery:
=========

For now only the IS2 is supported but later the IS0, ES0 and ES2 will be
added. There are currently no plans to support the IP6PFX and the LPM
VCAPs.

The IS2 VCAP has 4 lookups and they are accessible with a TC chain id:

- chain 8000000: IS2 Lookup 0
- chain 8100000: IS2 Lookup 1
- chain 8200000: IS2 Lookup 2
- chain 8300000: IS2 Lookup 3

These lookups are executed in parallel by the IS2 VCAP but the actions are
executed in series (the datasheet explains what happens if actions
overlap).

The functionality of TC flower as well as TC matchall filters will be
expanded in later submissions as well as the number of VCAPs supported.

This is current plan:

- add support for more TC flower filter keys and extend the Sparx5 port
  keyset configuration
- support for TC protocol all
- debugfs support for inspecting rules
- TC flower filter statistics
- Sparx5 IS0 VCAP support and more TC keys and actions to support this
- add TC policer and drop action support (depends on the Sparx5 QoS support
  upstreamed separately)
- Sparx5 ES0 VCAP support and more TC actions to support this
- TC flower template support
- TC matchall filter support for mirroring and policing ports
- TC flower filter mirror action support
- Sparx5 ES2 VCAP support


The LAN966x switchcore will also be updated to use the VCAP API as well as
future Microchip switches.
The LAN966x has 3 VCAPS (IS1, IS2 and ES0) and a slightly different keyset
and actionset portfolio than Sparx5.

Version History:
================
v3      Moved the sparx5_tc_flower_set_exterr function to the VCAP API and
        renamed it.
        Moved the sparx5_netbytes_copy function to the VCAP_API and renamed
        it (thanks Horatiu Vultur).
        Fixed indentation in the vcap_write_rule function.
        Added a comment mentioning the typegroup table terminator in the
        vcap_iter_skip_tg function.

v2      Made the KUNIT test model a superset of the real model to fix a
        kernel robot build error.

v1      Initial version
