AM65 NUSS ethernet switch on K3 devices can be configured to work either
in independent mac mode where each port acts as independent network
interface (multi mac) or switch mode.

Add devlink hooks to provide a way to switch b/w these modes.

Rationale to use devlink instead of defaulting to bridge mode is that
SoC use cases require to support multiple independent MAC ports with no
switching so that users can use software bridges with multi-mac
configuration (e.g: to support LAG, HSR/PRP, etc). Also, switching
between multi mac and switch mode requires significant Port and ALE
reconfiguration, therefore is easier to be made as part of mode change
devlink hooks. It also allows to keep user interface similar to what
was implemented for the previous generation of TI CPSW IP
(on AM33/AM43/AM57 SoCs).

====================
mlx5 subfunction support

Parav Pandit says:

This patchset introduces support for mlx5 subfunction (SF).

A subfunction is a lightweight function that has a parent PCI function on
which it is deployed. mlx5 subfunction has its own function capabilities
and its own resources. This means a subfunction has its own dedicated
queues(txq, rxq, cq, eq). These queues are neither shared nor stolen from
the parent PCI function.

When subfunction is RDMA capable, it has its own QP1, GID table and rdma
resources neither shared nor stolen from the parent PCI function.

A subfunction has dedicated window in PCI BAR space that is not shared
with the other subfunctions or parent PCI function. This ensures that all
class devices of the subfunction accesses only assigned PCI BAR space.

A Subfunction supports eswitch representation through which it supports tc
offloads. User must configure eswitch to send/receive packets from/to
subfunction port.

Subfunctions share PCI level resources such as PCI MSI-X IRQs with
their other subfunctions and/or with its parent PCI function.

Subfunction support is discussed in detail in RFC [1] and [2].
RFC [1] and extension [2] describes requirements, design and proposed
plumbing using devlink, auxiliary bus and sysfs for systemd/udev
support. Functionality of this patchset is best explained using real
examples further below.

overview:
--------
A subfunction can be created and deleted by a user using devlink port
add/delete interface.

A subfunction can be configured using devlink port function attribute
before its activated.

When a subfunction is activated, it results in an auxiliary device on
the host PCI device where it is deployed. A driver binds to the
auxiliary device that further creates supported class devices.

example subfunction usage sequence:
-----------------------------------
Change device to switchdev mode:
$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev

Add a devlink port of subfunction flavour:
$ devlink port add pci/0000:06:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 88

Configure mac address of the port function:
$ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88

Now activate the function:
$ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 state active

Now use the auxiliary device and class devices:
$ devlink dev show
pci/0000:06:00.0
auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.4

$ ip link show
127: ens2f0np0: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 24:8a:07:b3:d1:12 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname enp6s0f0np0
129: p0sf88: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:00:00:00:88:88 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

$ rdma dev show
43: rdmap6s0f0: node_type ca fw 16.29.0550 node_guid 248a:0703:00b3:d112 sys_image_guid 248a:0703:00b3:d112

After use inactivate the function:
$ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 state inactive

Now delete the subfunction port:
$ devlink port del ens2f0npf0sf88

<content type='text'>
The switch ASIC has a limited capacity of physical ('flavour physical'
in devlink terminology) ports that it can support. While each system is
brought up with a different number of ports, this number can be
increased via splitting up to the ASIC's limit.

Expose physical ports as a devlink resource so that user space will have
visibility to the maximum number of ports that can be supported and the
current occupancy.

In addition, add a "Generic Resources" section in devlink-resource
documentation so the different drivers will be aligned by the same resource
name when exposing to user space.
