      Revert "net: dsa: sja1105: Clear VLAN filtering offload netdev feature" · a1e6f641
      Vladimir Oltean authored
      This reverts commit e9bf9694.
      
      The topic of the reverted patch is the support for switches with global
      VLAN filtering, added by commit 061f6a50 ("net: dsa: Add
      ndo_vlan_rx_{add, kill}_vid implementation"). Be there a switch with 4
      ports swp0 -> swp3, and the following setup:
      
      ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
      ip link set swp0 master br0
      ip link set swp1 master br0
      
      What would happen with VLAN-tagged traffic received on standalone ports
      swp2 and swp3? Well, it would get dropped, were it not for the
      .ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid and .ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid implementations (called
      from vlan_vid_add and vlan_vid_del respectively). Basically, for DSA
      switches where VLAN filtering is a global attribute, we enforce the
      standalone ports to have 'rx-vlan-filter: off [fixed]' in their ethtool
      features, which lets the user know that all VLAN-tagged packets that are
      not explicitly added in the RX filtering list are dropped.
      
      As for the sja1105 driver, at the time of the reverted patch, it was
      operating in a pretty handicapped mode when it had ports under a bridge
      with vlan_filtering=1. Specifically, it was unable to terminate traffic
      through the CPU port (for further explanation see "Traffic support" in
      Documentation/networking/dsa/sja1105.rst).
      
      However, since then, the sja1105 driver has made considerable progress,
      and that limitation is no longer as severe now. Specifically, since
      commit 2cafa72e ("net: dsa: sja1105: add a new
      best_effort_vlan_filtering devlink parameter"), the driver is able to
      perform CPU termination even when some ports are under bridges with
      vlan_filtering=1. Then, since commit 8841f6e6 ("net: dsa: sja1105:
      make devlink property best_effort_vlan_filtering true by default"), this
      even became the default operating mode.
      
      So we can now take advantage of the logic in the DSA core.

      ====================
      net: ipa: more configuration data updates
      
      This series starts with two patches that should have been included
      in an earlier series.  With these in place, QSB settings are
      programmed from information found in the data files rather than
      being embedded in code.  Support is then added for reprenting
      another QSB property (supported for IPA v4.0+).
      
      The third patch updates the definition of the sequencer type used
      for an endpoint.  Previously a set of 2-byte symbols with fairly
      long names defined the sequencer type, but now those are broken into
      1-byte halves whose names are a little more informative.
      
      The fourth patch moves the sequencer type definition so it only
      applies to TX endpoints (they aren't valid for RX endpoints).  And
      the last makes some minor documentation updates.
