====================
net: mvpp2: add RSS support

This series adds support for RSS on PPv2. There already was some code to
handle the RSS tables, but the driver was missing all the classification
steps required to actually use these tables.

RSS is used through the classifier, using at least 2 lookups :
 - One using the C2 engine, a TCAM engine that match the packet based on
   some header extracted fields, assigns the default rx queue for that
   packet and tag it for RSS
 - One using the C3Hx engine, which computes the hash that's used to perform
   the lookup in the RSS table.

Since RSS spreads the load across CPUs, we need to make sure that packets
from the same flow are always assigned the same rx queue, to prevent
re-ordering.

This series therefore adds a classification step based on the Header Parser,
that separate ingress traffic into 52 flows, based on some L2, L3 and L4
parameters.

Patches 1 and 2 fix some header issues, from the driver splitting

Patches 3 to 7 make sure the correct receive queue setup is used for RSS

Patches 8 to 14 deal with the way we handle the RSS tables

Patch 15 implement basic classifier configuration, by using it to assign the
default receive queue

Patch 16 implement the ingress traffic splitting into multiple flows

Patch 17 adds RSS support, by using the needed classification steps

Patch 18 adds the required ethtool ops to configure the flow hash parameters

This was tested on MacchiatoBin, giving some nice performance improvements
using ip forwarding (going from 5Gbps to 9.6Gbps total throughput).

RSS is disabled by default.
