Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next v2 00/18] Add support for PSE port priority

From: Kory Maincent (Dent Project) <kory.maincent@...tlin.com>

This series brings support for port priority in the PSE subsystem.
PSE controllers can set priorities to decide which ports should be
turned off in case of special events like over-current.

I have added regulator maintainers to have their opinion on adding power
budget regulator constraint see patches 11 and 12.

This patch series adds support for two mode port priority modes.
1. Static Method:

   This method involves distributing power based on PD classification.
   It’s straightforward and stable, the PSE core keeping track of the
   budget and subtracting the power requested by each PD’s class.

   Advantages: Every PD gets its promised power at any time, which
   guarantees reliability.

   Disadvantages: PD classification steps are large, meaning devices
   request much more power than they actually need. As a result, the power
   supply may only operate at, say, 50% capacity, which is inefficient and
   wastes money.

2. Dynamic Method:

   To address the inefficiencies of the static method, vendors like
   Microchip have introduced dynamic power budgeting, as seen in the
   PD692x0 firmware. This method monitors the current consumption per port
   and subtracts it from the available power budget. When the budget is
   exceeded, lower-priority ports are shut down.

   Advantages: This method optimizes resource utilization, saving costs.

   Disadvantages: Low-priority devices may experience instability.

The UAPI allows adding support for software port priority mode managed from
userspace later if needed.

This patch series is currently untested and still lacks driver-level
support for port priority. I would appreciate your feedback on the current
implementation of port priority in the PSE core before proceeding further.

Several Reviewed-by have been removed due to the changes.

Thanks Oleksij for your pointers.

Patches 1-3: Cosmetics.
Patch 4: Adds support for last supported features in the TPS23881 drivers.
Patches 5,6: Add support for PSE index in PSE core and ethtool.
Patches 7-9: Add support for interrupt event report in PSE core, ethtool
	     and ethtool specs.
Patch 10: Adds support for interrupt and event report in TPS23881 driver.
Patches 11,12: Add support for power budget in regulator framework.
Patches 13,14: Add support for PSE power domain in PSE core and ethtool.
Patches 15-17: Add support for port priority in PSE core, ethtool and
	       ethtool specs.
Patches 18: Add support for port priority in PD692x0 drivers.
