There are only 2 modes supported in the upstream kernel:
MVPP2_QDIST_SINGLE_MODE and MVPP2_QDIST_MULTI_MODE. The third one you
mentioned is only supported in out-of-tree kernels.
Therefore patches sent to the upstream kernel do not take in into
account, as it is not supported.

This patch do not break the upstream support of PPv2 and does improve
two thing:
- It limits the total number of RXQs being allocated, to ensure the
number of RXQs being used do not exceed the number of available RXQ
(which would make the driver to fail).
- It does fix PPv2.1 support, which was broken.
I do think the patch will benefit the upstream PPv2 support.
Thanks,
Antoine
