This patch set adds support for Priority Flow Control in DPAA2 Ethernet
devices.
The first patch make the necessary changes so that multiple
traffic classes are configured. The dequeue priority
of the maximum 8 traffic classes is configured to be equal.
The second patch adds a static distribution to said traffic
classes based on the VLAN PCP field. In the future, this could be
extended through the .setapp() DCB callback for dynamic configuration.
Also, add support for the congestion group taildrop mechanism that
allows us to control the number of frames that can accumulate on a group
of Rx frame queues belonging to the same traffic class.
The basic subset of the DCB ops is implemented so that the user can
query the number of PFC capable traffic classes, their state and
reconfigure them if necessary.
Changes in v3:
- add patches 6-7 which add the PFC functionality
- patch 2/7: revert to explicitly cast mask to u16 * to not get into
sparse warnings
Changes in v4:
- really fix the sparse warnings in 2/7
