net: enetc: add support for preemptible traffic classes

Browse source

PFs which support the MAC Merge layer also have a set of 8 registers
called "Port traffic class N frame preemption register (PTC0FPR - PTC7FPR)".
Through these, a traffic class (group of TX rings of same dequeue
priority) can be mapped to the eMAC or to the pMAC.

There's nothing particularly spectacular here. We should probably only
commit the preemptible TCs to hardware once the MAC Merge layer became
active, but unlike Felix, we don't have an IRQ that notifies us of that.
We'd have to sleep for up to verifyTime (127 ms) to wait for a
resolution coming from the verification state machine; not only from the
ndo_setup_tc() code path, but also from enetc_mm_link_state_update().
Since it's relatively complicated and has a relatively small benefit,
I'm not doing it.
