net: marvell: prestera: add MDB offloading support
This patch series adds support for the MDB handling for the marvell
Prestera Driver. It's used to propagate IGMP groups registered within
the Kernel to the underlying HW (offload registered groups).
Features:
- define (and implement) main internal MDB-related objects;
- define (and implement) main HW APIs for MDB handling;
- add MDB handling support for both regular ports as well as Bond
interfaces;
- Mirrored behavior of Bridge driver upon multicast router appearance
(all traffic flooded when there's no mcast router; mcast router
receives all mcast traffic, and only group-specific registered mcast
traffic is being received by ports who've explicitly joined any group
when there's a registered mcast router);
- Reworked prestera driver bridge flags (especially multicast)
setting - thus making it possible to react over mcast disabled messages
properly by offloading this state to the underlying HW
(disabling multicast flooding);
Limitations:
- Not full (partial) IGMPv3 support (due to limited switchdev
notification capabilities:
MDB events are being propagated only with a single MAC entry,
while IGMPv3 has Group-Specific requests and responses);
- It's possible that multiple IP groups would receive traffic from
other groups, as MDB events are being propagated with a single MAC
entry, which makes it possible to map a few IPs over same MAC;

PATCH V5:
- fix checkpatch errors (4/4).
- remove function forward declarations, and move
function implementations to match the removed
forward declarations (4/4).
- rebased changes on top of latest master.
PATCH V4:
- fix clang warning - var uninitialized when used.
PATCH V3:
- add missing function implementations to 2/4 (HW API implementation),
only definitions were added int V1, V2, and implementation waas missed
by mistake.
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
- fix compiletime warning (unused variable)
PATCH V2:
- include all the patches of patch series (V1's been sent to
closed net-next, also had not all patches included);

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
