net/mlx5e: Separate between netdev objects and mlx5e profiles initialization
1) Initialize netdevice features and structures on netdevice allocation and outside of the mlx5e profile. 2) As now mlx5e netdevice private params will be setup on profile init only after netdevice features are already set, we add a call to netde_update_features() to resolve any conflict. This is nice since we reuse the fix_features ndo code if a profile wants different default features, instead of duplicating features conflict resolution code on profile initialization. 3) With this we achieve total separation between mlx5e profiles and netdevices, and will allow replacing mlx5e profiles on the fly to reuse the same netdevice for multiple profiles. e.g. for uplink representor profile as shown in the following patch 4) Profile callbacks are not allowed to touch netdev->features directly anymore, since in downstream patch we will detach/attach netdev dynamically to profile, hence we move the code dealing with netdev->features from profile->init() to fix_features ndo, and we will call netdev_update_features() on mlx5e_attach_netdev(profile, netdev); Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Roi Dayan <roid@nvidia.com>
