Subject: [PATCH net-next 00/17] Introduce line card support for modular switch

Jiri says:

This patchset introduces support for modular switch systems and also
introduces mlxsw support for NVIDIA Mellanox SN4800 modular switch.
It contains 8 slots to accommodate line cards - replaceable PHY modules
which may contain gearboxes.
Currently supported line card:
16X 100GbE (QSFP28)
Other line cards that are going to be supported:
8X 200GbE (QSFP56)
4X 400GbE (QSFP-DD)
There may be other types of line cards added in the future.

To be consistent with the port split configuration (splitter cabels),
the line card entities are treated in the similar way. The nature of
a line card is not "a pluggable device", but "a pluggable PHY module".

A concept of "provisioning" is introduced. The user may "provision"
certain slot with a line card type. Driver then creates all instances
(devlink ports, netdevices, etc) related to this line card type. It does
not matter if the line card is plugged-in at the time. User is able to
configure netdevices, devlink ports, setup port splitters, etc. From the
perspective of the switch ASIC, all is present and can be configured.

The carrier of netdevices stays down if the line card is not plugged-in.
Once the line card is inserted and activated, the carrier of
the related netdevices is then reflecting the physical line state,
same as for an ordinary fixed port.

Once user does not want to use the line card related instances
anymore, he can "unprovision" the slot. Driver then removes the
instances.

Patches 1-4 are extending devlink driver API and UAPI in order to
register, show, dump, provision and activate the line card.
Patches 5-17 are implementing the introduced API in mlxsw.
The last patch adds a selftest for mlxsw line cards.

Example:
$ devlink port # No ports are listed
$ devlink lc
pci/0000:01:00.0:
  lc 1 state unprovisioned
    supported_types:
       16x100G
  lc 2 state unprovisioned
    supported_types:
       16x100G
  lc 3 state unprovisioned
    supported_types:
       16x100G
  lc 4 state unprovisioned
    supported_types:
       16x100G
  lc 5 state unprovisioned
    supported_types:
       16x100G
  lc 6 state unprovisioned
    supported_types:
       16x100G
  lc 7 state unprovisioned
    supported_types:
       16x100G
  lc 8 state unprovisioned
    supported_types:
       16x100G

Note that driver exposes list supported line card types. Currently
there is only one: "16x100G".

To provision the slot #8:

$ devlink lc set pci/0000:01:00.0 lc 8 type 16x100G
$ devlink lc show pci/0000:01:00.0 lc 8
pci/0000:01:00.0:
  lc 8 state active type 16x100G
    supported_types:
       16x100G

pci/0000:01:00.0/128: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p16 flavour physical lc 8 port 16 splittable true lanes 4

To uprovision the slot #8:

$ devlink lc set pci/0000:01:00.0 lc 8 notype
