      mlxsw: Improve blocks selection for IPv6 multicast forwarding
      
      Amit Cohen writes:
      
      The driver configures two ACL regions during initialization, these regions
      are used for IPv4 and IPv6 multicast forwarding. Entries residing in these
      two regions match on the {SIP, DIP, VRID} key elements.
      
      Currently for IPv6 region, 9 key blocks are used. This can be improved by
      reducing the amount key blocks needed for the IPv6 region to 8. It is
      possible to use key blocks that mix subsets of the VRID element with
      subsets of the DIP element.
      
      To make this happen, we have to take in account the algorithm that chooses
      which key blocks will be used. It is lazy and not the optimal one as it is
      a complex task. It searches the block that contains the most elements that
      are required, chooses it, removes the elements that appear in the chosen
      block and starts again searching the block that contains the most elements.
      
      To optimize the nubmber of the blocks for IPv6 multicast forwarding, handle
      the following:
      
      1. Add support for key blocks that mix subsets of the VRID element with
      subsets of the DIP element.
      
      2. Prevent the algorithm from chosing another blocks for VRID.
      Currently, we have the block 'ipv4_4' which contains 2 sub-elements of
      VRID. With the existing algorithm, this block might be chosen, then 8
      blocks must be chosen for SIP and DIP and we will get 9 blocks to match on
      {SIP, DIP, VRID}. Therefore, replace this block with a new block 'ipv4_5'
      that contains 1 element for VRID, this will not be chosen for IPv6 as VRID
      element will be broken to several sub-elements. In this way we can get 8
      blocks for IPv6 multicast forwarding.
      
      This improvement was tested and indeed 8 blocks are used instead of 9.
      
      v2:
      - Resending without changes.

      mlxsw: Edit IPv6 key blocks to use one less block for multicast forwarding · 92953e7a
      Amit Cohen authored
      Two ACL regions that are configured by the driver during initialization are
      the ones used for IPv4 and IPv6 multicast forwarding. Entries residing
      in these two regions match on the {SIP, DIP, VRID} key elements.
      
      Currently for IPv6 region, 9 key blocks are used:
      * 4 for SIP - 'ipv4_1', 'ipv6_{3,4,5}'
      * 4 for DIP - 'ipv4_0', 'ipv6_{0,1,2/2b}'
      * 1 for VRID - 'ipv4_4b'
      
      This can be improved by reducing the amount key blocks needed for
      the IPv6 region to 8. It is possible to use key blocks that mix subsets of
      the VRID element with subsets of the DIP element.
      The following key blocks can be used:
      * 4 for SIP - 'ipv4_1', 'ipv6_{3,4,5}'
      * 1 for subset of DIP - 'ipv4_0'
      * 3 for the rest of DIP and subsets of VRID - 'ipv6_{0,1,2/2b}'
      
      To make this happen, add VRID sub-elements as part of existing keys -
      'ipv6_{0,1,2/2b}'. Note that one of the sub-elements is called
      VRID_ROUTER_MSB and does not contain bit numbers like the rest, as for
      Spectrum < 4 this element represents bits 8-10 and for Spectrum-4 it
      represents bits 8-11.
      
      Breaking VRID into 3 sub-elements makes the driver use one less block in
      IPv6 region for multicast forwarding. The sub-elements can be filled in
      blocks that are used for destination IP.
      
      The algorithm in the driver that chooses which key blocks will be used is
      lazy and not the optimal one. It searches the block that contains the most
      elements that are required, chooses it, removes the elements that appear
      in the chosen block and starts again searching the block that contains the
      most elements.
      
      When key block 'ipv4_4' is defined, the algorithm might choose it, as it
      contains 2 sub-elements of VRID, then 8 blocks must be chosen for SIP and
      DIP and we get 9 blocks to match on {SIP, DIP, VRID}. That is why we had to
      remove key block 'ipv4_4' in a previous patch and use key block that
      contains one field for VRID.
      
      This improvement was tested and indeed 8 blocks are used instead of 9.

      mlxsw: spectrum_acl_flex_keys: Add 'ipv4_5b' flex key · c6caabdf
      Amit Cohen authored
      The previous patch replaced the key block 'ipv4_4' with 'ipv4_5'. The
      corresponding block for Spectrum-4 is 'ipv4_4b'. To be consistent, replace
      key block 'ipv4_4b' with 'ipv4_5b'.

      mlxsw: Add 'ipv4_5' flex key · c2f3e10a
      Amit Cohen authored
      Currently virtual router ID element is broken to two sub-elements -
      'VIRT_ROUTER_LSB' and 'VIRT_ROUTER_MSB'. It was broken as this field is
      broken in 'ipv4_4' flex key which is used for IPv4 in Spectrum < 4.
      For Spectrum-4, we use 'ipv4_4b' flex key which contains one field for
      virtual router, this key is not supported in older ASICs.
      
      Add 'ipv4_5' flex key which is supported in all ASICs and contains one
      field for virtual router. Then there is no reason to use 'VIRT_ROUTER_LSB'
      and 'VIRT_ROUTER_MSB', remove them and add one element 'VIRT_ROUTER' for
      this field.
      
      The motivation is to get rid of 'ipv4_4' flex key, as it might be chosen
      for IPv6 multicast forwarding region. This will not allow the improvement
      in a following patch. See more details in the cover letter and in a
      following patch.

      hamradio: baycom: remove useless link in Kconfig · 84c19e65
      Peter Lafreniere authored
      The Kconfig help text for baycom drivers suggests that more information
      on the hardware can be found at <https://www.baycom.de>. The website now
      includes no information on their ham radio products other than a mention
      that they were once produced by the company, saying:
      "The amateur radio equipment is now no longer part and business of BayCom GmbH"
      
      As there is no information relavent to the baycom driver on the site,
      remove the link.
