Subject: [PATCH net-next] mlxsw: pci: Avoid flow control for EMAD packets

From: Danielle Ratson <danieller@...dia.com>

Locally generated packets ingress the device through its CPU port. When
the CPU port is congested and there are not enough credits in its
headroom buffer, packets can be dropped.

While this might be acceptable for data packets that traverse the
network, configuration packets exchanged between the host and the device
(EMADs) should not be subjected to this flow control.

The "sdq_lp" bit in the SDQ (Send Descriptor Queue) context allows the
host to instruct the device to treat packets sent on this queue as
"local processing" and always process them, regardless of the state of
the CPU port's headroom.

Add the definition of this bit and set it for the dedicated SDQ reserved
for the transmission of EMAD packets. This makes the "local processing"
bit in the WQE (Work Queue Element) redundant, so clear it.
