Communication between VF and PF is based on a dedicated HW channel;
VF will prepare a messge, and by signaling the HW the PF would get a
notification of that message existance. The PF would then copy the
message, process it and DMA an answer back to the VF as a response.
The messages themselves are TLV-based - allowing easier backward/forward
compatibility.
This patch adds the infrastructure of the channel on the PF side -
starting with the arrival of the notification and ending with DMAing
the response back to the VF.
It also adds a dummy-response as reference, as it only lays the
groundwork of the communication; it doesn't really add support of any
actual messages.

This is the first NFC pull request for 4.7. With this one we
mainly have:
- Support for NXP's pn532 NFC chipset. The pn532 is based on the same
microcontroller as the pn533, but it talks to the host through i2c
instead of USB. By separating the pn533 driver into core and PHY
parts, we can not add the i2c layer and support the pn532 chipset.
- Support for NCI's loopback mode. This is a testing mode where each
packet received by the NFCC is sent back to the DH, allowing the
host to test that the controller can receive and send data.
- A few ACPI related fixes for the STMicro drivers, in order to match
the device tree naming scheme.
- A bunch of cleanups for the st-nci and the st21nfca STMicro drivers.

Mellanox 100G mlx5 CQE compression
Introducing ConnectX-4 CQE (Completion Queue Entry) compression feature
for mlx5 etherent driver.
CQE Compressing reduces PCI overhead by coalescing and compressing multiple CQEs into a
single merged CQE. Successful compressing improves message rate especially for small packet
traffic.
CQE Compressing in details:
Instead of writing full CQEs to memory, multiple almost identical CQEs are merged and compressed.
Information that is shared between the CQEs is written once, regardless of the number of
compressed CQEs. In addition, only the unique information (small amount of bytes compared to
full CQE size) is written per CQE.
CQE Compression Block:
This block contains multiple compressed CQEs. CQE Compression Block contains a single copy
of CQEs properties which are shared between all the compressed CQEs (called Title, see below)
and multiple mini CQEs (CQEs in compressed form).
Title:
The Title holds information which is shared between all the compressed CQEs in the CQE Compression
Block. In each Compression Block there is only a single Title regardless of the number
of compressed CQEs.
Mini CQE:
A CQE in compressed form that holds some data needed to extract a single full CQE, for example
8 Bytes instead of 64 Bytes.
The shared information between all compressed CQEs, which belong to the same CQE Compression
Block called Title, is written once, and only the unique information in each compressed
CQE, for example 8 bytes, is written per compressed CQE, called mini CQE.
Since CQE Compression can add overhead to the software (CPU),
it will be only enabled on "weak/slow" PCI slots, where it can actually help.

More enabler patches for DSA probing
The complete set of patches for the reworked DSA probing is too big to
post as once. These subset contains some enablers which are easy to
review.
Eventually, the Marvell driver will instantiate its own internal MDIO
bus, rather than have the framework do it, thus allows devices on the
bus to be listed in the device tree. Initialize the main mutex as soon
as it is created, to avoid lifetime issues with the mdio bus.
A previous patch renamed all the DSA probe functions to make room for
a true device probe. However the recent merging of all the Marvell
switch drivers resulted in mv88e6xxx going back to the old probe
name. Rename it again, so we can have a driver probe function.
Add minimum support for the Marvell switch driver to probe as an MDIO
device, as well as an DSA driver. Later patches will then register
this device with the new DSA core framework.
Move the GPIO reset code out of the DSA code. Different drivers may
need different reset mechanisms, e.g. via a reset controller for
memory mapped devices. Don't clutter up the core with this. Let each
driver implement what it needs.
master_dev is no longer needed in the switch drivers, since they have
access to a device pointer from the probe function. Remove it.
Let the switch parse the eeprom length from its one device tree
node. This is required with the new binding when the central DSA
platform device no longer exists.
====================

A switch can export an attached EEPROM using the standard ethtool API.
However the switch itself cannot determine the size of the EEPROM, and
multiple sizes are allowed. Thus a device tree property is supported
to indicate the length of the EEPROM. Parse this property during
device probe, and implement a callback function to retrieve it.

net: vrf: Fixup PKTINFO to return enslaved device index
Applications such as OSPF and BFD need the original ingress device not
the VRF device; the latter can be derived from the former. To that end
move the packet intercept from an rx handler that is invoked by
__netif_receive_skb_core to the ipv4 and ipv6 receive processing.
IPv6 already saves the skb_iif to the control buffer in ipv6_rcv. Since
the skb->dev has not been switched the cb has the enslaved device. Make
the same happen for IPv4 by adding the skb_iif to inet_skb_parm and set
it in ipv4 code after clearing the skb control buffer similar to IPv6.
From there the pktinfo can just pull it from cb with the PKTINFO_SKB_CB
cast.

Currently the VRF driver uses the rx_handler to switch the skb device
to the VRF device. Switching the dev prior to the ip / ipv6 layer
means the VRF driver has to duplicate IP/IPv6 processing which adds
overhead and makes features such as retaining the ingress device index
more complicated than necessary.
This patch moves the hook to the L3 layer just after the first NF_HOOK
for PRE_ROUTING. This location makes exposing the original ingress device
trivial (next patch) and allows adding other NF_HOOKs to the VRF driver
in the future.
dev_queue_xmit_nit is exported so that the VRF driver can cycle the skb
with the switched device through the packet taps to maintain current
behavior (tcpdump can be used on either the vrf device or the enslaved
devices).

This is an initial implementation of a netdev driver for GTP datapath
(GTP-U) v0 and v1, according to the GSM TS 09.60 and 3GPP TS 29.060
standards. This tunneling protocol is used to prevent subscribers from
accessing mobile carrier core network infrastructure.
This implementation requires a GGSN userspace daemon that implements the
signaling protocol (GTP-C), such as OpenGGSN [1]. This userspace daemon
updates the PDP context database that represents active subscriber
sessions through a genetlink interface.
For more context on this tunneling protocol, you can check the slides
that were presented during the NetDev 1.1 [2].
Only IPv4 is supported at this time.

batadv_gw_node_add requires that the caller already has a valid reference
for orig_node. It is therefore not possible that it has an reference
counter of 0 and was still given to this function
The kref_get function instead WARNs (with debug information) when the
reference counter would still be 0. This makes a bug in batman-adv better
visible because kref_get_unless_zero would have ignored this problem.

The hard_iface is referenced in the packet_type for batman-adv. Increase
the refcounter of the hard_interface for it to have an explicit reference
for it in case this functionality gets refactorted and the currently
used implicit reference for it will be removed.

The receive function may start processing an incoming packet while the
hard_iface is shut down in a different context. All called functions called
with the batadv_hard_iface object belonging to the incoming interface would
have to check whether the reference counter is still > 0.
This is rather error-prone because this check can be forgotten easily.
Instead check the reference counter when receiving the object to make sure
that all called functions have a valid reference.

The batadv_hardif_list list is checked in many situations and the items
in this list are given to specialized functions to modify the routing
behavior. At the moment each of these called functions has to check
itself whether the received batadv_hard_iface has a refcount > 0 before
it can increase the reference counter and use it in other objects.
This can easily lead to problems because it is not easily visible where
all callers of a function got the batadv_hard_iface object from and
whether they already hold a valid reference.
Checking the reference counter directly before calling a subfunction
with a pointer from the batadv_hardif_list avoids this problem.

There are network setups where the current bridge loop avoidance can't
detect bridge loops. The minimal setup affected would consist of two
LANs and two separate meshes, connected in a ring like that:
A...(mesh1)...B
| |
(LAN1) (LAN2)
| |
C...(mesh2)...D
Since both the meshes and backbones are separate, the bridge loop
avoidance has not enough information to detect and avoid the loop
in this case. Even if these scenarios can't be fixed easily,
these kind of loops can be detected.
This patch implements a periodic check (running every 60 seconds for
now) which sends a broadcast frame with a random MAC address on
each backbone VLAN. If a broadcast frame with the same MAC address
is received shortly after on the mesh, we know that there must be a
loop and report that incident as well as throw an uevent to let others
handle that problem.

The callers of batadv_interface_rx have to make sure that enough data can
be pulled from the skb when they read the batman-adv header. The only two
functions using it are either calling pskb_may_pull with hdr_size directly
(batadv_recv_bcast_packet) or indirectly via batadv_check_unicast_packet
(batadv_recv_unicast_packet).
