ATU Load operations could fail silently if there's not enough space
on the device to hold the new entry. When this happens, the symptom
depends on the unknown flood settings. If unknown multicast flood is
disabled, the multicast packets are dropped when the ATU table is
full. If unknown multicast flood is enabled, the multicast packets
will be flooded to all ports. Either way, IGMP snooping is broken
when the ATU Load operation fails silently.

Do a Read-After-Write verification after each fdb/mdb add operation
to make sure that the operation was really successful, and return
-ENOSPC otherwise.

<content type='text'>
On MMIO devices (e.g. MT7988 or EN7581) unicast traffic received on lanX
port is flooded on all other user ports if the DSA switch is configured
without VLAN support since PORT_MATRIX in PCR regs contains all user
ports. Similar to MDIO devices (e.g. MT7530 and MT7531) fix the issue
defining default VLAN-ID 0 for MT7530 MMIO devices.

<content type='text'>
When the kernel is compiled without LED framework support the
rtl8366rb fails to build like this:

rtl8366rb.o: in function `rtl8366rb_setup_led':
rtl8366rb.c:953:(.text.unlikely.rtl8366rb_setup_led+0xe8):
  undefined reference to `led_init_default_state_get'
rtl8366rb.c:980:(.text.unlikely.rtl8366rb_setup_led+0x240):
  undefined reference to `devm_led_classdev_register_ext'

As this is constantly coming up in different randconfig builds,
bite the bullet and create a separate file for the offending
code, split out a header with all stuff needed both in the
core driver and the leds code.

Add a new bool Kconfig option for the LED compile target, such
that it depends on LEDS_CLASS=y || LEDS_CLASS=RTL8366RB
which make LED support always available when LEDS_CLASS is
compiled into the kernel and enforce that if the LEDS_CLASS
is a module, then the RTL8366RB driver needs to be a module
as well so that modprobe can resolve the dependencies.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "This is slightly smaller than usual, with the most interesting work
  being still around RTNL scope reduction.

  Core:

   - More core refactoring to reduce the RTNL lock contention, including
     preparatory work for the per-network namespace RTNL lock, replacing
     RTNL lock with a per device-one to protect NAPI-related net device
     data and moving synchronize_net() calls outside such lock.

   - Extend drop reasons usage, adding net scheduler, AF_UNIX, bridge
     and more specific TCP coverage.

   - Reduce network namespace tear-down time by removing per-subsystems
     synchronize_net() in tipc and sched.

   - Add flow label selector support for fib rules, allowing traffic
     redirection based on such header field.

  Netfilter:

   - Do not remove netdev basechain when last device is gone, allowing
     netdev basechains without devices.

   - Revisit the flowtable teardown strategy, dealing better with fin,
     reset and re-open events.

   - Scale-up IP-vs connection dumping by avoiding linear search on each
     restart.

  Protocols:

   - A significant XDP socket refactor, consolidating and optimizing
     several helpers into the core

   - Better scaling of ICMP rate-limiting, by removing false-sharing in
     inet peers handling.

   - Introduces netlink notifications for multicast IPv4 and IPv6
     address changes.

   - Add ipsec support for IP-TFS/AggFrag encapsulation, allowing
     aggregation and fragmentation of the inner IP.

   - Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delay for TCP sockets, to
     avoid local port exhaustion issues when the average connection
     lifetime is very short.

   - Support updating keys (re-keying) for connections using kernel TLS
     (for TLS 1.3 only).

   - Support ipv4-mapped ipv6 address clients in smc-r v2.

   - Add support for jumbo data packet transmission in RxRPC sockets,
     gluing multiple data packets in a single UDP packet.

   - Support RxRPC RACK-TLP to manage packet loss and retransmission in
     conjunction with the congestion control algorithm.

  Driver API:

   - Introduce a unified and structured interface for reporting PHY
     statistics, exposing consistent data across different H/W via
     ethtool.

   - Make timestamping selectable, allow the user to select the desired
     hwtstamp provider (PHY or MAC) administratively.

   - Add support for configuring a header-data-split threshold (HDS)
     value via ethtool, to deal with partial or buggy H/W
     implementation.

   - Consolidate DSA drivers Energy Efficiency Ethernet support.

   - Add EEE management to phylink, making use of the phylib
     implementation.

   - Add phylib support for in-band capabilities negotiation.

   - Simplify how phylib-enabled mac drivers expose the supported
     interfaces.

  Tests and tooling:

   - Make the YNL tool package-friendly to make it easier to deploy it
     separately from the kernel.

   - Increase TCP selftest coverage importing several packetdrill
     test-cases.

   - Regenerate the ethtool uapi header from the YNL spec, to ease
     maintenance and future development.

Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
 "Kthreads affinity follow either of 4 existing different patterns:

   1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never
      execute relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled
      by smpboot code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations.
      Affinity here is a correctness constraint.

   2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and
      can't run anywhere else. The affinity is set through
      kthread_bind_mask() and the subsystem takes care by itself to
      handle CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a
      correctness constraint.

   3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node.
      This is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in
      terms of memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this
      category. The affinity is set manually like for any other task and
      CPU-hotplug is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so
      that the task is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the
      node comes up. Also care should be taken so that the node affinity
      doesn't cross isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries.

   4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_
      affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU
      exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes"
      from a distinctly distributed tree.

  Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
  identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
  CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its
  own ad-hoc way.

  This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following
  API changes:

   - kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread
     to its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with
     kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up.

   - kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called
     right after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred
     affinity different than the specified node.

  When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible
  targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine to
  the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the time
  or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set).

  kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been
  converted, along with a few old drivers.

  Summary of the changes:

   - Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of
     kthread_run_on_cpu()

   - Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last
     resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware

   - Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always
     called before the first kthread wake up.

   - Default affine kthread to its preferred node.

   - Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc
     affinity implementation

   - Implement kthreads preferred affinity

   - Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style

   - Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity
     implementation"

<content type='text'>
Replace ternary (condition ? "enable" : "disable") syntax with helpers
from string_choices.h because:
1. Simple function call with one argument is easier to read.  Ternary
   operator has three arguments and with wrapping might lead to quite
   long code.
2. Is slightly shorter thus also easier to read.
3. It brings uniformity in the text - same string.
4. Allows deduping by the linker, which results in a smaller binary
   file.
