Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/5] Eliminate CONFIG_NR_CPUS dependency in dpaa-eth and enable COMPILE_TEST in fsl_qbman

Breno's previous attempt at enabling COMPILE_TEST for the fsl_qbman
driver (now included here as patch 5/5) triggered compilation warnings
for large CONFIG_NR_CPUS values:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/202406261920.l5pzM1rj-lkp@intel.com/

Patch 1/5 switches two NR_CPUS arrays in the dpaa-eth driver to dynamic
allocation to avoid that warning. There is more NR_CPUS usage in the
fsl-qbman driver, but that looks relatively harmless and I couldn't find
a good reason to change it.

I noticed, while testing, that the driver doesn't actually work properly
with high CONFIG_NR_CPUS values, and patch 2/5 addresses that.

During code analysis, I have identified two places which treat
conditions that can never happen. Patches 4/5 and 5/5 simplify the
probing code - dpaa_fq_setup() - just a little bit.

Finally we have at 5/5 the patch that triggered all of this. There is
an okay from Herbert to take it via netdev, despite it being on soc/qbman:

Breno Leitao (1):
  soc: fsl: qbman: FSL_DPAA depends on COMPILE_TEST

Vladimir Oltean (4):
  net: dpaa: avoid on-stack arrays of NR_CPUS elements
  net: dpaa: eliminate NR_CPUS dependency in egress_fqs[] and conf_fqs[]
  net: dpaa: stop ignoring TX queues past the number of CPUs
  net: dpaa: no need to make sure all CPUs receive a corresponding Tx
    queue
