Alexander Lobakin says:

This hunts down several places around packet templates/dummies for
switch rules which are either repetitive, fragile or just not
really readable code.
It's a common need to add new packet templates and to review such
changes as well, try to simplify both with the help of a pair
macros and aliases.
ice_find_dummy_packet() became very complex at this point with tons
of nested if-elses. It clearly showed this approach does not scale,
so convert its logics to the simple mask-match + static const array.

bloat-o-meter is happy about that (built w/ LLVM 13):

Diffstat also looks nice, and adding new packet templates now takes
less lines.

We'll probably come out with dynamic template crafting in a while,
but for now let's improve what we have currently.

The following are changes since commit e8bd70250a821edb541c3abe1eacdad9f8dc7adf:
  prestera: acl: add action hw_stats support
and are available in the git repository at:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/next-queue 100GbE

Alexander Lobakin (5):
  ice: switch: add and use u16[] aliases to ice_adv_lkup_elem::{h, m}_u
  ice: switch: unobscurify bitops loop in ice_fill_adv_dummy_packet()
  ice: switch: use a struct to pass packet template params
  ice: switch: use convenience macros to declare dummy pkt templates
  ice: switch: convert packet template match code to rodata
