mlxsw: Add support for IP-in-IP with IPv6 underlay
Currently, mlxsw only supports IP-in-IP with IPv4 underlay. Traffic
routed through 'gre' netdevs is encapsulated with IPv4 and GRE headers.
Similarly, incoming IPv4 GRE packets are decapsulated and routed in the
overlay VRF (which can be the same as the underlay VRF).
This patchset adds support for IPv6 underlay using the 'ip6gre' netdev.
Due to architectural differences between Spectrum-1 and later ASICs,
this functionality is only supported on Spectrum-2 onwards (the software
data path is used for Spectrum-1).
Patchset overview:
Patches #1-#5 are preparations.
Patches #6-#9 add and extend required device registers.
Patches #10-#14 gradually add IPv6 underlay support.
A follow-up patchset will add net/forwarding/ selftests.
