net: mscc: ocelot: create TCAM skeleton from tc filter chains
For Ocelot switches, there are 2 ingress pipelines for flow offload rules: VCAP IS1 (Ingress Classification) and IS2 (Security Enforcement). IS1 and IS2 support different sets of actions. The pipeline order for a packet on ingress is: Basic classification -> VCAP IS1 -> VCAP IS2 Furthermore, IS1 is looked up 3 times, and IS2 is looked up twice (each TCAM entry can be configured to match only on the first lookup, or only on the second, or on both etc). Because the TCAMs are completely independent in hardware, and because of the fixed pipeline, we actually have very limited options when it comes to offloading complex rules to them while still maintaining the same semantics with the software data path. This patch maps flow offload rules to ingress TCAMs according to a predefined chain index number. There is going to be a script in selftests that clarifies the usage model. There is also an egress TCAM (VCAP ES0, the Egress Rewriter), which is modeled on top of the default chain 0 of the egress qdisc, because it doesn't have multiple lookups. Suggested-by: Allan W.
