====================
net: Support Wake-on-LAN using filters

This is technically a v2, but this patch series builds on your feedback
and defines the following:

- a new WAKE_* bit: WAKE_FILTER which can be enabled alongside other type
  of Wake-on-LAN to support waking up on a programmed filter (match + action)
- a new RX_CLS_FLOW_WAKE flow action which can be specified by an user when
  inserting a flow using ethtool::rxnfc, similar to the existing RX_CLS_FLOW_DISC

The bcm_sf2 and bcmsysport drivers are updated accordingly to work in concert to
allow matching packets at the switch level, identified by their filter location
to be used as a match by the SYSTEM PORT (CPU/management controller) during
Wake-on-LAN.

Let me know if this looks better than the previous incarnation of the patch
series.

Attached is also the ethtool patch that I would be submitting once the uapi
changes are committed.

Thank you!

Changes in v2:

- bail out earlier in bcm_sf2_cfp's get_rxnfc if an error is
  encountered (Andrew)
