When multicast snooping is enabled, the Linux bridge resorts to flooding
unregistered multicast packets to all ports only in case it did not
detect a querier in the network.
The above condition is not reflected to underlying drivers, which is
especially problematic in IPv6 environments, as multicast snooping is
enabled by default and since neighbour solicitation packets might be
treated as unregistered multicast packets in case there is no
corresponding MDB entry.
Until the Linux bridge reflects its querier state to underlying drivers,
simply treat unregistered multicast packets as broadcast and allow them
to reach their destination.

Up until now IPv6 unregistered multicast traffic would be flooded like
broadcast, even when MLD snooping was enabled on the bridge. This was
intentional as MLD packet traps were missing, preventing the bridge
driver from programming MDB entries to the device.
Previous patch added these traps, so we can now finally flood IPv6
unregistered multicast packets to specific ports via the multicast table
instead of flooding them to all ports via the broadcast table.

The mlxsw driver currently implements three types of RIFs. VLAN and FID
RIFs for L3 interfaces on top of VLAN-aware and VLAN-unaware bridges
(respectively) and Subport RIFs for all other L3 interfaces.
All the RIF types follow a common configuration procedure, which only
differs in the type-specific bits. The patch exploits this fact and
consolidates the common code paths, thereby simplifying the code and
making it more extensible.
This work also prepares the driver for use with future ASICs, where the
range of the Subport RIFs will be extended and their configuration
modified accordingly. By merely implementing a new RIF operations and
selecting it during initialization, the same driver could be re-used.

The device supports three types of FIDs. 802.1Q and 802.1D FIDs for
VLAN-aware and VLAN-unaware bridges (respectively) and rFIDs to
transport packets to the router block.
The different users (e.g., bridge, router, ACLs) of the FIDs
infrastructure need not know about the internal FIDs implementation and
can therefore interact with it using a restricted set of exported
functions.
By encapsulating the entire FID logic and hiding it from the rest of the
driver we get a code base that it much simpler and easier to work with
and extend.
For example, in the current Spectrum ASIC only 802.1D FIDs can be
assigned a VNI, but future ASICs will also support 802.1Q FIDs. With
this patch in place, support for future ASICs can be easily added by
implementing a new FID operations according to their capabilities.
