[ Upstream commit 8b6e638b4be2ad77f61fb93b4e1776c6ccc2edab ]

Upcoming patches will add tag_8021q related logic to switch.c and
port.c, in order to allow it to make use of cross-chip notifiers.
In addition, a struct dsa_8021q_context *ctx pointer will be added to
struct dsa_switch.

It seems fairly low-reward to #ifdef the *ctx from struct dsa_switch and
to provide shim implementations of the entire tag_8021q.c calling
surface (not even clear what to do about the tag_8021q cross-chip
notifiers to avoid compiling them). The runtime overhead for switches
which don't use tag_8021q is fairly small because all helpers will check
for ds-&gt;tag_8021q_ctx being a NULL pointer and stop there.

So let's make it part of dsa_core.o.

<title>net: dsa: add a second tagger for Ocelot switches based on tag_8021q</title>

<content type='text'>
There are use cases for which the existing tagger, based on the NPI
(Node Processor Interface) functionality, is insufficient.

Namely:
- Frames injected through the NPI port bypass the frame analyzer, so no
  source address learning is performed, no TSN stream classification,
  etc.
- Flow control is not functional over an NPI port (PAUSE frames are
  encapsulated in the same Extraction Frame Header as all other frames)
- There can be at most one NPI port configured for an Ocelot switch. But
  in NXP LS1028A and T1040 there are two Ethernet CPU ports. The non-NPI
  port is currently either disabled, or operated as a plain user port
  (albeit an internally-facing one). Having the ability to configure the
  two CPU ports symmetrically could pave the way for e.g. creating a LAG
  between them, to increase bandwidth seamlessly for the system.

So there is a desire to have an alternative to the NPI mode. This change
keeps the default tagger for the Seville and Felix switches as "ocelot",
but it can be changed via the following device attribute:

echo ocelot-8021q &gt; /sys/class/&lt;dsa-master&gt;/dsa/tagging

Ethertype DSA encodes exactly the same information in the DSA tag as
the non-ethertype variety. So refactor out the common parts and reuse
them for both protocols.

This is ensures tag parsing and generation is always consistent across
all mv88e6xxx chips.

While we are at it, explicitly deal with all possible CPU codes on
receive, making sure to set offload_fwd_mark as appropriate.

The Hirschmann Hellcreek TSN switches have a special tagging protocol for frames
exchanged between the CPU port and the master interface. The format is a one
byte trailer indicating the destination or origin port.

It's quite similar to the Micrel KSZ tagging. That's why the implementation is
based on that code.

This implements the known parts of the Realtek 4 byte
tag protocol version 0xA, as found in the RTL8366RB
DSA switch.

It is designated as protocol version 0xA as a
different Realtek 4 byte tag format with protocol
version 0x9 is known to exist in the Realtek RTL8306
chips.

The tag and switch chip lacks public documentation, so
the tag format has been reverse-engineered from
packet dumps. As only ingress traffic has been available
for analysis an egress tag has not been possible to
develop (even using educated guesses about bit fields)
so this is as far as it gets. It is not known if the
switch even supports egress tagging.

Excessive attempts to figure out the egress tag format
was made. When nothing else worked, I just tried all bit
combinations with 0xannp where a is protocol and p is
port. I looped through all values several times trying
to get a response from ping, without any positive
result.

Using just these ingress tags however, the switch
functionality is vastly improved and the packets find
their way into the destination port without any
tricky VLAN configuration. On the D-Link DIR-685 the
LAN ports now come up and respond to ping without
any command line configuration so this is a real
improvement for users.

Egress packets need to be restricted to the proper
target ports using VLAN, which the RTL8366RB DSA
switch driver already sets up.

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.

In order to support this, we are creating a make-shift switch tag out of
a VLAN trunk configured on the CPU port. Termination of normal traffic
on switch ports only works when not under a vlan_filtering bridge.
Termination of management (PTP, BPDU) traffic works under all
circumstances because it uses a different tagging mechanism
(incl_srcpt). We are making use of the generic CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_8021Q
code and leveraging it from our own CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_SJA1105.

There are two types of traffic: regular and link-local.

The link-local traffic received on the CPU port is trapped from the
switch's regular forwarding decisions because it matched one of the two
DMAC filters for management traffic.

On transmission, the switch requires special massaging for these
link-local frames. Due to a weird implementation of the switching IP, by
default it drops link-local frames that originate on the CPU port.
It needs to be told where to forward them to, through an SPI command
("management route") that is valid for only a single frame.
So when we're sending link-local traffic, we are using the
dsa_defer_xmit mechanism.

In order to support this, we are creating a make-shift switch tag out of
a VLAN trunk configured on the CPU port. Termination of normal traffic
on switch ports only works when not under a vlan_filtering bridge.
Termination of management (PTP, BPDU) traffic works under all
circumstances because it uses a different tagging mechanism
(incl_srcpt). We are making use of the generic CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_8021Q
code and leveraging it from our own CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_SJA1105.

There are two types of traffic: regular and link-local.
