Vladimir Oltean 317ab5b86c net: dsa: sja1105: Configure the Time-Aware Scheduler via tc-taprio offload
This qdisc offload is the closest thing to what the SJA1105 supports in
hardware for time-based egress shaping. The switch core really is built
around SAE AS6802/TTEthernet (a TTTech standard) but can be made to
operate similarly to IEEE 802.1Qbv with some constraints:

- The gate control list is a global list for all ports. There are 8
  execution threads that iterate through this global list in parallel.
  I don't know why 8, there are only 4 front-panel ports.

- Care must be taken by the user to make sure that two execution threads
  never get to execute a GCL entry simultaneously. I created a O(n^4)
  checker for this hardware limitation, prior to accepting a taprio
  offload configuration as valid.

- The spec says that if a GCL entry's interval is shorter than the frame
  length, you shouldn't send it (and end up in head-of-line blocking).
  Well, this switch does anyway.

- The switch has no concept of ADMIN and OPER configurations. Because
  it's so simple, the TAS settings are loaded through the static config
  tables interface, so there isn't even place for any discussion about
  'graceful switchover between ADMIN and OPER'. You just reset the
  switch and upload a new OPER config.

- The switch accepts multiple time sources for the gate events. Right
  now I am using the standalone clock source as opposed to PTP. So the
  base time parameter doesn't really do much. Support for the PTP clock
  source will be added in a future series.

This is the driver for the NXP SJA1105 automotive Ethernet switch
family. These are 5-port devices and are managed over an SPI
interface. Probing is handled based on OF bindings and so is the
linkage to PHYLINK. The driver supports the following revisions:
- SJA1105E (Gen. 1, No TT-Ethernet)
- SJA1105T (Gen. 1, TT-Ethernet)
- SJA1105P (Gen. 2, No SGMII, No TT-Ethernet)
- SJA1105Q (Gen. 2, No SGMII, TT-Ethernet)
- SJA1105R (Gen. 2, SGMII, No TT-Ethernet)
- SJA1105S (Gen. 2, SGMII, TT-Ethernet)

This enables support for timestamping and PTP clock manipulations in
the SJA1105 DSA driver.

This enables support for the TTEthernet-based egress scheduling
engine in the SJA1105 DSA driver, which is controlled using a
hardware offload of the tc-tqprio qdisc.
