mlxsw: spectrum: Add support in matchall mirror TC offloading
This patch offloads port mirroring directives to hw using the matchall TC with action mirror. It includes both the implementation of the ndo_setup_tc function for the spectrum driver and the spectrum hardware offload configuration code. The hardware offload code is basically two new functions which are capable of adding and removing a new mirror ports pair. It is done using the MPAT, MPAR and SBIB registers: - A new Switch-Port Analyzer (SPAN) entry is added using MPAT to the 'to' port. - The 'to' port is bound to the SPAN entry using MPAR register. - In case of egress SPAN, the 'to' port gets a new internal shared buffer using SBIB register. In addition, a new database was added to the mlxsw_sp struct to store all the SPAN entries and their bound ports list. The number of supported SPAN entries is determined by resource query.
