Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

The current assumption is that the felix DSA driver has flooding knobs per traffic class, while ocelot switchdev has a single flooding knob. This was correct for felix VSC9959 and ocelot VSC7514, but with the introduction of seville VSC9953, we see a switch driven by felix.c which has a single flooding knob. So it is clear that we must do what should have been done from the beginning, which is not to overwrite the configuration done by ocelot.c in felix, but instead to teach the common ocelot library about the differences in our switches, and set up the flooding PGIDs centrally. The effect that the bogus iteration through FELIX_NUM_TC has upon seville is quite dramatic. ANA_FLOODING is located at 0x00b548, and ANA_FLOODING_IPMC is located at 0x00b54c. So the bogus iteration will actually overwrite ANA_FLOODING_IPMC when attempting to write ANA_FLOODING[1]. There is no ANA_FLOODING[1] in sevile, just ANA_FLOODING. And when ANA_FLOODING_IPMC is overwritten with a bogus value, the effect is that ANA_FLOODING_IPMC gets the value of 0x0003CF7D: MC6_DATA = 61, MC6_CTRL = 61, MC4_DATA = 60, MC4_CTRL = 0. Because MC4_CTRL is zero, this means that IPv4 multicast control packets are not flooded, but dropped. An invalid configuration, and this is how the issue was actually spotted.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
