[ Upstream commit 0be04b5fa62a82a9929ca261f6c9f64a3d0a28da ]

The switch clears the ARL_SRCH_STDN bit when the search is done, i.e. it
finished traversing the ARL table.

This means that there will be no valid result, so we should not attempt
to read and process any further entries.

We only ever check the validity of the entries for 4 ARL bin chips, and
only after having passed the first entry to the b53_fdb_copy().

This means that we always pass an invalid entry at the end to the
b53_fdb_copy(). b53_fdb_copy() does check the validity though before
passing on the entry, so it never gets passed on.

On &lt; 4 ARL bin chips, we will even continue reading invalid entries
until we reach the result limit.

[ Upstream commit c264294624e956a967a9e2e5fa41e3273340b089 ]

In the New Control register bit 1 is either reserved, or has a different
function:

    Out of Range Error Discard

    When enabled, the ingress port discards any frames
    if the Length field is between 1500 and 1536
    (excluding 1500 and 1536) and with good CRC.

The actual bit for enabling IP multicast is bit 0, which was only
explicitly enabled for BCM5325 so far.

For older switch chips, this bit defaults to 0, so we want to enable it
as well, while newer switch chips default to 1, and their documentation
says "It is illegal to set this bit to zero."

So drop the wrong B53_IPMC_FWD_EN define, enable the IP multicast bit
also for other switch chips. While at it, rename it to (B53_)IP_MC as
that is how it is called in Broadcom code.

[ Upstream commit b6a8a5477fe9bd6be2b594a88f82f8bba41e6d54 ]

There is no guarantee that the port state override registers have their
default values, as not all switches support being reset via register or
have a reset GPIO.

So when forcing port config, we need to make sure to clear all fields,
which we currently do not do for the speed and flow control
configuration. This can cause flow control stay enabled, or in the case
of speed becoming an illegal value, e.g. configured for 1G (0x2), then
setting 100M (0x1), results in 0x3 which is invalid.

For PORT_OVERRIDE_SPEED_2000M we need to make sure to only clear it on
supported chips, as the bit can have different meanings on other chips,
e.g. for BCM5389 this controls scanning PHYs for link/speed
configuration.

phylink's MLO_PAUSE_* definitions, to use a pair of booleans.  This
will allow us to move b53_force_port_config() from

[ Upstream commit 498625a8ab2c8e1c9ab5105744310e8d6952cc01 ]

It has been reported that when under a bridge with stp_state=1, the logs
get spammed with this message:

[  251.734607] fsl_dpaa2_eth dpni.5 eth0: Couldn't decode source port

Further debugging shows the following info associated with packets:
source_port=-1, switch_id=-1, vid=-1, vbid=1

In other words, they are data plane packets which are supposed to be
decoded by dsa_tag_8021q_find_port_by_vbid(), but the latter (correctly)
refuses to do so, because no switch port is currently in
BR_STATE_LEARNING or BR_STATE_FORWARDING - so the packet is effectively
unexpected.

The error goes away after the port progresses to BR_STATE_LEARNING in 15
seconds (the default forward_time of the bridge), because then,
dsa_tag_8021q_find_port_by_vbid() can correctly associate the data plane
packets with a plausible bridge port in a plausible STP state.

Re-reading IEEE 802.1D-1990, I see the following:

"4.4.2 Learning: (...) The Forwarding Process shall discard received
frames."

IEEE 802.1D-2004 further clarifies:

"DISABLED, BLOCKING, LISTENING, and BROKEN all correspond to the
DISCARDING port state. While those dot1dStpPortStates serve to
distinguish reasons for discarding frames, the operation of the
Forwarding and Learning processes is the same for all of them. (...)
LISTENING represents a port that the spanning tree algorithm has
selected to be part of the active topology (computing a Root Port or
Designated Port role) but is temporarily discarding frames to guard
against loops or incorrect learning."

Well, this is not what the driver does - instead it sets
mac[port].ingress = true.

To get rid of the log spam, prevent unexpected data plane packets to
be received by software by discarding them on ingress in the LISTENING
state.

In terms of blame attribution: the prints only date back to commit
d7f9787a763f ("net: dsa: tag_8021q: add support for imprecise RX based
on the VBID"). However, the settings would permit a LISTENING port to
forward to a FORWARDING port, and the standard suggests that's not OK.

[ Upstream commit 498625a8ab2c8e1c9ab5105744310e8d6952cc01 ]

It has been reported that when under a bridge with stp_state=1, the logs
get spammed with this message:

[  251.734607] fsl_dpaa2_eth dpni.5 eth0: Couldn't decode source port

Further debugging shows the following info associated with packets:
source_port=-1, switch_id=-1, vid=-1, vbid=1

In other words, they are data plane packets which are supposed to be
decoded by dsa_tag_8021q_find_port_by_vbid(), but the latter (correctly)
refuses to do so, because no switch port is currently in
BR_STATE_LEARNING or BR_STATE_FORWARDING - so the packet is effectively
unexpected.

The error goes away after the port progresses to BR_STATE_LEARNING in 15
seconds (the default forward_time of the bridge), because then,
dsa_tag_8021q_find_port_by_vbid() can correctly associate the data plane
packets with a plausible bridge port in a plausible STP state.

[ Upstream commit 9f34ad89bcf0e6df6f8b01f1bdab211493fc66d1 ]

When VLAN filtering is off, we configure the switch to forward, but not
learn on VLAN table misses. This effectively disables learning while not
filtering.

Fix this by switching to forward and learn. Setting the learning disable
register will still control whether learning actually happens.
