This series adds support for boards where DSA switches of multiple types
are cascaded together. Actually this type of setup was brought up before
on netdev, and it looks like utilizing disjoint trees is the way to go:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/7/225

The trouble with disjoint trees (prior to this patch series) is that only
bridging of ports within the same hardware switch can be offloaded.
After scratching my head for a while, it looks like the easiest way to
support hardware bridging between different DSA trees is to bridge their
DSA masters and extend the crosschip bridging operations.

I have given some thought to bridging the DSA masters with the slaves
themselves, but given the hardware topology described in the commit
message of patch 4/4, virtually any number (and combination) of bridges
(forwarding domains) can be created on top of those 3x4-port front-panel
switches. So it becomes a lot less obvious, when the front-panel ports
are enslaved to more than 1 bridge, which bridge should the DSA masters
be enslaved to.

So the least awkward approach was to just create a completely separate
bridge for the DSA masters, whose entire purpose is to permit hardware
forwarding between the discrete switches beneath it.

This is a direct resend of v3, which was deferred due to lack of review.
In the meantime Florian has reviewed and tested some of them.

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com>

Commit 8db0a2ee2c63 ("net: bridge: reject DSA-enabled master netdevices
as bridge members") added a special check in br_if.c in order to check
for a DSA master network device with a tagging protocol configured. This
was done because back then, such devices, once enslaved in a bridge
would become inoperative and would not pass DSA tagged traffic anymore
due to br_handle_frame returning RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED.

But right now we have valid use cases which do require bridging of DSA
masters. One such example is when the DSA master ports are DSA switch
ports themselves (in a disjoint tree setup). This should be completely
equivalent, functionally speaking, from having multiple DSA switches
hanging off of the ports of a switchdev driver. So we should allow the
enslaving of DSA tagged master network devices.

Instead of the regular br_handle_frame(), install a new function
br_handle_frame_dummy() on these DSA masters, which returns
RX_HANDLER_PASS in order to call into the DSA specific tagging protocol
handlers, and lift the restriction from br_add_if.

Changes in v4:
None.

Changes in v3:
None.

Changes in v2:
* Removed the hotpath netdev_uses_dsa check and installed a dummy
  rx_handler for such net devices.
* Improved the check of which DSA master net devices are able to be
  bridged and which aren't.
* At this stage, the patch is different enough from where I took it from
  (aka https://github.com/ffainelli/linux/commit/75618cea75ada8d9eef7936c002b5ec3dd3e4eac)
  that I just added my authorship to it).

One way of utilizing DSA is by cascading switches which do not all have
compatible taggers. Consider the following real-life topology:

      +---------------------------------------------------------------+
      | LS1028A                                                       |

      |               |      DSA master for Felix    |                |
      |               |(internal ENETC port 2: eno2))|                |
      |  +------------+------------------------------+-------------+  |
      |  | Felix embedded L2 switch                                |  |
      |  |                                                         |  |
      |  | +--------------+   +--------------+   +--------------+  |  |
      |  | |DSA master for|   |DSA master for|   |DSA master for|  |  |
      |  | |  SJA1105 1   |   |  SJA1105 2   |   |  SJA1105 3   |  |  |
      |  | |(Felix port 1)|   |(Felix port 2)|   |(Felix port 3)|  |  |
      +--+-+--------------+---+--------------+---+--------------+--+--+

+-----------------------+ +-----------------------+ +-----------------------+
|   SJA1105 switch 1    | |   SJA1105 switch 2    | |   SJA1105 switch 3    |
+-----+-----+-----+-----+ +-----+-----+-----+-----+ +-----+-----+-----+-----+
|sw1p0|sw1p1|sw1p2|sw1p3| |sw2p0|sw2p1|sw2p2|sw2p3| |sw3p0|sw3p1|sw3p2|sw3p3|
+-----+-----+-----+-----+ +-----+-----+-----+-----+ +-----+-----+-----+-----+

The above can be described in the device tree as follows (obviously not
complete):

mscc_felix {
	dsa,member = <0 0>;
	ports {
		port@4 {
			ethernet = <&enetc_port2>;
		};
	};
};

sja1105_switch1 {
	dsa,member = <1 1>;
	ports {
		port@4 {
			ethernet = <&mscc_felix_port1>;
		};
	};
};

sja1105_switch2 {
	dsa,member = <2 2>;
	ports {
		port@4 {
			ethernet = <&mscc_felix_port2>;
		};
	};
};

sja1105_switch3 {
	dsa,member = <3 3>;
	ports {
		port@4 {
			ethernet = <&mscc_felix_port3>;
		};
	};
};

Basically we instantiate one DSA switch tree for every hardware switch
in the system, but we still give them globally unique switch IDs (will
come back to that later). Having 3 disjoint switch trees makes the
tagger drivers "just work", because net devices are registered for the
3 Felix DSA master ports, and they are also DSA slave ports to the ENETC
port. So packets received on the ENETC port are stripped of their
stacked DSA tags one by one.

Currently, hardware bridging between ports on the same sja1105 chip is
possible, but switching between sja1105 ports on different chips is
handled by the software bridge. This is fine, but we can do better.

In fact, the dsa_8021q tag used by sja1105 is compatible with cascading.
In other words, a sja1105 switch can correctly parse and route a packet
containing a dsa_8021q tag. So if we could enable hardware bridging on
the Felix DSA master ports, cross-chip bridging could be completely
offloaded.

Such as system would be used as follows:

ip link add dev br0 type bridge && ip link set dev br0 up
for port in sw0p0 sw0p1 sw0p2 sw0p3 \
	    sw1p0 sw1p1 sw1p2 sw1p3 \
	    sw2p0 sw2p1 sw2p2 sw2p3; do
	ip link set dev $port master br0
done

The above makes switching between ports on the same row be performed in
hardware, and between ports on different rows in software. Now assume
the Felix switch ports are called swp0, swp1, swp2. By running the
following extra commands:

ip link add dev br1 type bridge && ip link set dev br1 up
for port in swp0 swp1 swp2; do
	ip link set dev $port master br1
done

the CPU no longer sees packets which traverse sja1105 switch boundaries
and can be forwarded directly by Felix. The br1 bridge would not be used
for any sort of traffic termination.

For this to work, we need to give drivers an opportunity to listen for
bridging events on DSA trees other than their own, and pass that other
tree index as argument. I have made the assumption, for the moment, that
the other existing DSA notifiers don't need to be broadcast to other
trees. That assumption might turn out to be incorrect. But in the
meantime, introduce a dsa_broadcast function, similar in purpose to
dsa_port_notify, which is used only by the bridging notifiers.

Somewhat similar to dsa_tree_find, dsa_switch_find returns a dsa_switch
structure pointer by searching for its tree index and switch index (the
parameters from dsa,member). To be used, for example, by drivers who
implement .crosschip_bridge_join and need a reference to the other
switch indicated to by the tree_index and sw_index arguments.

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com>

sja1105 uses dsa_8021q for DSA tagging, a format which is VLAN at heart
and which is compatible with cascading. A complete description of this
tagging format is in net/dsa/tag_8021q.c, but a quick summary is that
each external-facing port tags incoming frames with a unique pvid, and
this special VLAN is transmitted as tagged towards the inside of the
system, and as untagged towards the exterior. The tag encodes the switch
id and the source port index.

This means that cross-chip bridging for dsa_8021q only entails adding
the dsa_8021q pvids of one switch to the RX filter of the other
switches. Everything else falls naturally into place, as long as the
bottom-end of ports (the leaves in the tree) is comprised exclusively of
dsa_8021q-compatible (i.e. sja1105 switches). Otherwise, there would be
a chance that a front-panel switch transmits a packet tagged with a
dsa_8021q header, header which it wouldn't be able to remove, and which
would hence "leak" out.

The only use case I tested (due to lack of board availability) was when
the sja1105 switches are part of disjoint trees (however, this doesn't
change the fact that multiple sja1105 switches still need unique switch
identifiers in such a system). But in principle, even "true" single-tree
setups (with DSA links) should work just as fine, except for a small
change which I can't test: dsa_towards_port should be used instead of
dsa_upstream_port (I made the assumption that the routing port that any
sja1105 should use towards its neighbours is the CPU port. That might
not hold true in other setups).

Changes in v4:
None.

Changes in v3:
* Moved the implementation in tag_8021q.c, because 1. it is generic
  enough that is can be reused by anyone employing dsa_8021q tagging,
  and 2. sja1105_main.c could use some de-cluttering.
* Provided reference counting to the crosschip links to avoid
  workarounds such as never deleting VLANs from the CPU port.

Changes in v2:
Now replaying the crosschip operations when toggling the VLAN filtering
state (aka when we need to hide the dsa_8021q VLANs, as the VLAN
filtering table becomes visible to the user so it needs to be cleared -
and perhaps restored afterwards).
