This adds support in 2 ndo that allow PF to tweak the VF's view of the
link - `ndo_set_vf_link_state' to allow it a view independent of the PF's,
and `ndo_set_vf_rate' which would allow the PF to limit the VF speed.

Allows the PF to enforce the VF's mac.
i.e., by using `ip link ... vf <x> mac <value>'.
While a MAC is forced, PF would prevent the VF from configuring any other
MAC.

This adds support for PF control over the VF vlan configuration.
I.e., `ip link ... vf <x> vlan <vid>' should now be supported.
1. <vid> != 0 => VF receives [unknowingly] only traffic tagged by
<vid> and tags all outgoing traffic sent by VF with <vid>.
2. <vid> == 0 ==> Remove the pvid configuration, reverting to previous.

As the VF infrastructure is supposed to offer backward/forward
compatibility, the various types associated with VF<->PF communication
should be aligned across all various platforms that support IOV
on our family of adapters.
This adds a couple of currently missing values, specifically aligning
the enum for the various TLVs possible in the communication between them.
It then adds the PF implementation for some of those missing VF requests.
This support isn't really necessary for the Linux VF as those VFs aren't
requiring it [at least today], but are required by VFs running on other
OSes. LRO is an example of one such configuration.

Up to this point, VF and PF communication always originates from VF.
As a result, VF cannot be notified of any async changes, and specifically
cannot be informed of the current link state.
This introduces the bulletin board, the mechanism through which the PF
is going to communicate async notifications back to the VF. basically,
it's a well-defined structure agreed by both PF and VF which the VF would
continuously poll and into which the PF would DMA messages when needed.
[Bulletin board is actually allocated and communicated in previous patches
but never before used]
Based on the bulletin infrastructure, the VF can query its link status
and receive said async carrier changes.

This adds sufficient changes to allow VFs l2-configuration flows to work.
While the fastpath of the VF and the PF are meant to be exactly the same,
the configuration of the VF is done by the PF.
This diverges all VF-related configuration flows that originate from a VF,
making them pass through the VF->PF channel and adding sufficient logic
on the PF side to support them.

While previous patches have already added the necessary logic to probe
VFs as well as enabling them in the HW, this patch adds the ability to
support VF FLR & SRIOV disable.
It then wraps both flows together into the first IOV callback to be
provided to the protocol driver - `configure'. This would later to be used
to enable and disable SRIOV in the adapter.

This adds the qed VFs for the first time -
The vfs are limited functions, with a very different PCI bar structure
[when compared with PFs] to better impose the related security demands
associated with them.
This patch includes the logic neccesary to allow VFs to successfully probe
[without actually adding the ability to enable iov].
This includes diverging all the flows that would occur as part of the pci
probe of the driver, preventing VF from accessing registers/memories it
can't and instead utilize the VF->PF channel to query the PF for needed
information.

Communication between VF and PF is based on a dedicated HW channel;
VF will prepare a messge, and by signaling the HW the PF would get a
notification of that message existance. The PF would then copy the
message, process it and DMA an answer back to the VF as a response.
The messages themselves are TLV-based - allowing easier backward/forward
compatibility.
This patch adds the infrastructure of the channel on the PF side -
starting with the arrival of the notification and ending with DMAing
the response back to the VF.
It also adds a dummy-response as reference, as it only lays the
groundwork of the communication; it doesn't really add support of any
actual messages.

NFC 4.7 pull request
This is the first NFC pull request for 4.7. With this one we
mainly have:
- Support for NXP's pn532 NFC chipset. The pn532 is based on the same
microcontroller as the pn533, but it talks to the host through i2c
instead of USB. By separating the pn533 driver into core and PHY
parts, we can not add the i2c layer and support the pn532 chipset.
- Support for NCI's loopback mode. This is a testing mode where each
packet received by the NFCC is sent back to the DH, allowing the
host to test that the controller can receive and send data.
- A few ACPI related fixes for the STMicro drivers, in order to match
the device tree naming scheme.
- A bunch of cleanups for the st-nci and the st21nfca STMicro drivers.

Mellanox 100G mlx5 CQE compression
Introducing ConnectX-4 CQE (Completion Queue Entry) compression feature
for mlx5 etherent driver.
CQE Compressing reduces PCI overhead by coalescing and compressing multiple CQEs into a
single merged CQE. Successful compressing improves message rate especially for small packet
traffic.
CQE Compressing in details:
Instead of writing full CQEs to memory, multiple almost identical CQEs are merged and compressed.
Information that is shared between the CQEs is written once, regardless of the number of
compressed CQEs. In addition, only the unique information (small amount of bytes compared to
full CQE size) is written per CQE.
CQE Compression Block:
This block contains multiple compressed CQEs. CQE Compression Block contains a single copy
of CQEs properties which are shared between all the compressed CQEs (called Title, see below)
and multiple mini CQEs (CQEs in compressed form).
Title:
The Title holds information which is shared between all the compressed CQEs in the CQE Compression
Block. In each Compression Block there is only a single Title regardless of the number
of compressed CQEs.
Mini CQE:
A CQE in compressed form that holds some data needed to extract a single full CQE, for example
8 Bytes instead of 64 Bytes.
The shared information between all compressed CQEs, which belong to the same CQE Compression
Block called Title, is written once, and only the unique information in each compressed
CQE, for example 8 bytes, is written per compressed CQE, called mini CQE.
Since CQE Compression can add overhead to the software (CPU),
it will be only enabled on "weak/slow" PCI slots, where it can actually help.

More enabler patches for DSA probing
The complete set of patches for the reworked DSA probing is too big to
post as once. These subset contains some enablers which are easy to
review.
Eventually, the Marvell driver will instantiate its own internal MDIO
bus, rather than have the framework do it, thus allows devices on the
bus to be listed in the device tree. Initialize the main mutex as soon
as it is created, to avoid lifetime issues with the mdio bus.
A previous patch renamed all the DSA probe functions to make room for
a true device probe. However the recent merging of all the Marvell
switch drivers resulted in mv88e6xxx going back to the old probe
name. Rename it again, so we can have a driver probe function.
Add minimum support for the Marvell switch driver to probe as an MDIO
device, as well as an DSA driver. Later patches will then register
this device with the new DSA core framework.
Move the GPIO reset code out of the DSA code. Different drivers may
need different reset mechanisms, e.g. via a reset controller for
memory mapped devices. Don't clutter up the core with this. Let each
driver implement what it needs.
master_dev is no longer needed in the switch drivers, since they have
access to a device pointer from the probe function. Remove it.
Let the switch parse the eeprom length from its one device tree
node. This is required with the new binding when the central DSA
platform device no longer exists.

A switch can export an attached EEPROM using the standard ethtool API.
However the switch itself cannot determine the size of the EEPROM, and
multiple sizes are allowed. Thus a device tree property is supported
to indicate the length of the EEPROM. Parse this property during
device probe, and implement a callback function to retrieve it.

Resetting the switch is something the driver does, not the framework.

net: vrf: Fixup PKTINFO to return enslaved device index
Applications such as OSPF and BFD need the original ingress device not
the VRF device; the latter can be derived from the former. To that end
move the packet intercept from an rx handler that is invoked by
__netif_receive_skb_core to the ipv4 and ipv6 receive processing.
IPv6 already saves the skb_iif to the control buffer in ipv6_rcv. Since
the skb->dev has not been switched the cb has the enslaved device. Make
the same happen for IPv4 by adding the skb_iif to inet_skb_parm and set
it in ipv4 code after clearing the skb control buffer similar to IPv6.
From there the pktinfo can just pull it from cb with the PKTINFO_SKB_CB
cast.

Currently the VRF driver uses the rx_handler to switch the skb device
to the VRF device. Switching the dev prior to the ip / ipv6 layer
means the VRF driver has to duplicate IP/IPv6 processing which adds
overhead and makes features such as retaining the ingress device index
more complicated than necessary.
This patch moves the hook to the L3 layer just after the first NF_HOOK
for PRE_ROUTING. This location makes exposing the original ingress device
trivial (next patch) and allows adding other NF_HOOKs to the VRF driver
in the future.
dev_queue_xmit_nit is exported so that the VRF driver can cycle the skb
with the switched device through the packet taps to maintain current
behavior (tcpdump can be used on either the vrf device or the enslaved
devices).

This is an initial implementation of a netdev driver for GTP datapath
(GTP-U) v0 and v1, according to the GSM TS 09.60 and 3GPP TS 29.060
standards. This tunneling protocol is used to prevent subscribers from
accessing mobile carrier core network infrastructure.
This implementation requires a GGSN userspace daemon that implements the
signaling protocol (GTP-C), such as OpenGGSN [1]. This userspace daemon
updates the PDP context database that represents active subscriber
sessions through a genetlink interface.
For more context on this tunneling protocol, you can check the slides
that were presented during the NetDev 1.1 [2].
Only IPv4 is supported at this time.

The kref_get function instead WARNs (with debug information) when the
reference counter would still be 0. This makes a bug in batman-adv better
visible because kref_get_unless_zero would have ignored this problem.

batadv_nc_get_nc_node requires that the caller already has a valid
reference for orig_neigh_node. It is therefore not possible that it has an
reference counter of 0 and was still given to this function
The kref_get function instead WARNs (with debug information) when the
reference counter would still be 0. This makes a bug in batman-adv better
