    net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: support creating mac address based offload entries · 33fc42de

    This will be used to implement a limited form of bridge offloading.
    Since the hardware does not support flow table entries with just source
    and destination MAC address, the driver has to emulate it.
    
    The hardware automatically creates entries entries for incoming flows, even
    when they are bridged instead of routed, and reports when packets for these
    flows have reached the minimum PPS rate for offloading.
    
    After this happens, we look up the L2 flow offload entry based on the MAC
    header and fill in the output routing information in the flow table.
    The dynamically created per-flow entries are automatically removed when
    either the hardware flowtable entry expires, is replaced, or if the offload
    rule they belong to is removed
