Now that the dsa_switch_driver structure contains only function pointers
as it is supposed to, rename it to the more appropriate dsa_switch_ops,
uniformly to any other operations structure in the kernel.
No functional changes here, basically just the result of something like:
s/dsa_switch_driver *drv/dsa_switch_ops *ops/g
However keep the {un,}register_switch_driver functions and their
dsa_switch_drivers list as is, since they represent the -- likely to be
deprecated soon -- legacy DSA registration framework.
In the meantime, also fix the following checks from checkpatch.pl to
make it happy with this patch:

When ndo_set_rx_mode() is called for bnx2x, as part of process of
configuring the new MAC address filters [both unicast & multicast]
driver begins by flushing the existing configuration and then iterating
over the network device's list of addresses and configures those instead.
This has the side-effect of creating a short gap where traffic wouldn't
be properly classified, as no filters are configured in HW.
While for unicasts this is rather insignificant [as unicast MACs don't
frequently change while interface is actually running],
for multicast traffic it does pose an issue as there are multicast-based
networks where new multicast groups would constantly be removed and
added.
This patch tries to remedy this [at least for the newer adapters] -
Instead of flushing & reconfiguring all existing multicast filters,
the driver would instead create the approximate hash match that would
result from the required filters. It would then compare it against the
currently configured approximate hash match, and only add and remove the
delta between those.

Before commit 99724c18fc ("mlxsw: spectrum: Introduce support for
router interfaces") we used to assign vFIDs to the created vPorts. Since
these vPorts were used for slow path traffic we had to disable learning
for them, as it doesn't make sense to have it enabled.
This is no longer the case and now vPorts are either used for router
interfaces (for which learning is disabled by the firmware) or bridge
ports (for which learning is explicitly enabled by the driver).
Therefore, we can remove the learning configuration upon vPort creation.

Up until now we simply stored the learning configuration of a bridge
port in the driver and decided whether to learn a new FDB record based
on this value.
However, this is sub-optimal in cases where learning is disabled on the
bridge port, as the device repeatedly generates learning notifications
for the same record.
Instead, offload the learning configuration to the device, thereby
preventing it from generating notifications when learning is disabled.

Since learning configuration is done per {Port, VID} we need to apply

When a VID is added to the VLAN filter list of a VLAN-aware bridge port,
configure the {Port, VID} learning status according to the port's

Up until now a learning session ended whenever the number of queried
records was zero. This turned out to be problematic in situations where
a large number of MACs (48K) had to be processed by the switch driver,
as RTNL mutex is held during the learning session.
Instead, limit the number of FDB records that can be processed in a
session to 64. This means that every time the device is queried for
learning notifications (currently, every 100ms), up to 64 records will
be processed by the switch driver.

The interrupts shouldn't be disabled while receiving skb, but while
ctrl_stop, the channels are stopped and all remaining packets are
handled with netif_receive_skb(), it can cause WARN_ONCE when ctrl
is stopping while not all packets were handled with NAPIs:
lock_irq_save
cpdma_ctlr_stop

So, split locking while ctrl stop thus interrupts are still

Each VF employees a lock that's supposed to serialize its usage of the
HW channel for communication with its PF, but the critical section is
ill-defined:
- VFs currently release the lock whenever the PF response arrives,
prior to actually processing the reply buffer [which was also supposed
to have been protected by same lock].
- The lock would be released on first response, ignoring the possibilty
the sw flow isn't over [as might be the case of the acquisition flow].
As a result, the flow would run unprotected and would cause a double
mutex release [as the additional message completion would release it
while its actually already free].
Change the flow to have a dedicated function to be called at end of each
flow and release the lock.

- Recognizing that VF is running on top of a legacy PF.
