net: mvpp2: Classifier updates and cleanups
In preparation for the future addition of classification offload
support, this series cleans-up the current code dealing with the
classification engines.
As of today, the classification code only deals with RSS, which is a
very narrow use-case when considering all of the classifier's features.
This lead to design and naming decisions that don't really stand when
considering using more classification features.
This series therefore includes quite a lot a renaming of functions and
macros, and tries to make the naming schemes more consistent and the
code more readable.
The debugfs interface that allows reading the various Parsing and
Classification engines has been cleaned-up and made more generic,
allowing to read the Flow Table and C2 engine hit counters on a
per-entry basis.
The Classifier itself has been made more robust by introducing the
lu_type field in classification lookups, that prevents false-positive
matches in the future. We also initialise the various engine in a more
extensive and less error-prone way by assining default values to all
entries in the C2 and Flow table.
This is a pretty big series considering it's mostly cleanup, but my goal
is to make the future series that will contain new big features easier
to review, focusing on the real logic.
Besides the debugfs interface, this series doesn't intend to introduce any
new features or change in behaviours.
