Subject: [net-next PATCH 0/3] Add devlink params to vary cqe and rbuf

Octeontx2 hardware writes a Completion Queue Entry(CQE) in the
memory provided by software when a packet is received or
transmitted. CQE has the buffer pointers (IOVAs) where the
packet data fragments are written by hardware. One 128 byte
CQE can hold 6 buffer pointers and a 512 byte CQE can hold
42 buffer pointers. Hence large packets can be received either
by using 512 byte CQEs or by increasing size of receive buffers.
Current driver only supports 128 byte CQEs.
This patchset adds devlink params to change CQE and receive
buffer sizes which inturn helps to tune whether many small size
buffers or less big size buffers are needed to receive larger
packets. Below is the patches description:

Patch 1 - This prepares for 512 byte CQE operation by
seperating out transmit side and receive side config.
Also simplifies existing rbuf size calculation.

Patch 2 - Adds devlink param to change cqe. Basically
sets new config and toggles interface to cleanup and init properly.

Patch 3 - Similar to patch 2 and adds devlink param to
change receive buffer size

Thanks,
Sundeep
