mlx5 has the IANA VXLAN port (4789) hard coded by the device,
instead of being added dynamically when tunnels are created.
To support this add a workaround flag to struct udp_tunnel_nic_info.
Skipping updates for the port is fairly trivial, dumping the hard
coded port via ethtool requires some code duplication. The port
is not a part of any real table, we dump it in a special table
which has no tunnel types supported and only one entry.
This is the last known workaround / hack needed to convert
all drivers to the new infra.

Add an interface to report offloaded UDP ports via ethtool netlink.
Now that core takes care of tracking which UDP tunnel ports the NICs
are aware of we can quite easily export this information out to
user space.
The responsibility of writing the netlink dumps is split between
ethtool code and udp_tunnel_nic.c - since udp_tunnel module may
not always be loaded, yet we should always report the capabilities
of the NIC.
$ ethtool --show-tunnels eth0
Tunnel information for eth0:
UDP port table 0:
Size: 4
Types: vxlan
No entries
UDP port table 1:
Size: 4
Types: geneve, vxlan-gpe
Entries (1):
port 1230, vxlan-gpe

This UAPI is needed for BroadR-Reach 100BASE-T1 devices. Due to lack of
auto-negotiation support, we needed to be able to configure the
MASTER-SLAVE role of the port manually or from an application in user
space.
The same UAPI can be used for 1000BASE-T or MultiGBASE-T devices to
force MASTER or SLAVE role. See IEEE 802.3-2018:
22.2.4.3.7 MASTER-SLAVE control register (Register 9)
22.2.4.3.8 MASTER-SLAVE status register (Register 10)
40.5.2 MASTER-SLAVE configuration resolution
45.2.1.185.1 MASTER-SLAVE config value (1.2100.14)
45.2.7.10 MultiGBASE-T AN control 1 register (Register 7.32)
The MASTER-SLAVE role affects the clock configuration:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the PHY is configured as MASTER, the PMA Transmit function shall
source TX_TCLK from a local clock source. When configured as SLAVE, the
PMA Transmit function shall source TX_TCLK from the clock recovered from
data stream provided by MASTER.

Since some clock or link related issues are only reproducible in a
specific MASTER-SLAVE-role, MAC and PHY configuration, it is beneficial
to provide generic (not 100BASE-T1 specific) interface to the user space
for configuration flexibility and trouble shooting.

The ethtool netlink code uses common framework for passing arbitrary
length bit sets to allow future extensions. A bitset can be a list (only
one bitmap) or can consist of value and mask pair (used e.g. when client
want to modify only some bits). A bitset can use one of two formats:
verbose (bit by bit) or compact.
Verbose format consists of bitset size (number of bits), list flag and
an array of bit nests, telling which bits are part of the list or which
bits are in the mask and which of them are to be set. In requests, bits
can be identified by index (position) or by name. In replies, kernel
provides both index and name. Verbose format is suitable for "one shot"
applications like standard ethtool command as it avoids the need to
either keep bit names (e.g. link modes) in sync with kernel or having to
add an extra roundtrip for string set request (e.g. for private flags).
Compact format uses one (list) or two (value/mask) arrays of 32-bit
words to store the bitmap(s). It is more suitable for long running
applications (ethtool in monitor mode or network management daemons)
which can retrieve the names once and then pass only compact bitmaps to
save space.
Userspace requests can use either format; ETHTOOL_FLAG_COMPACT_BITSETS
flag in request header tells kernel which format to use in reply.
Notifications always use compact format.
As some code uses arrays of unsigned long for internal representation and
some arrays of u32 (or even a single u32), two sets of parse/compose
helpers are introduced. To avoid code duplication, helpers for unsigned
long arrays are implemented as wrappers around helpers for u32 arrays.
There are two reasons for this choice: (1) u32 arrays are more frequent in
ethtool code and (2) unsigned long array can be always interpreted as an
u32 array on little endian 64-bit and all 32-bit architectures while we
would need special handling for odd number of u32 words in the opposite
direction.
