mlx5-updates-2022-02-16

Misc updates for mlx5:
 1) Alex Liu Adds support for using xdp->data_meta
 
 2) Aya Levin Adds PTP counters and port time stamp mode for representors and
 switchdev mode.
 
 3) Tariq Toukan, Striding RQ simple improvements.
 
 4) Roi Dayan (7): Create multiple attr instances per flow
 
 Some TC actions use post actions for their implementation.
 For example CT and sample actions.
 
 Create a new flow attr instance after each multi table action and
 create a post action rule for it as a generic parsing step.
 Now multi table actions like CT, sample don't require to do it.
 
 When flow has multiple attr instances, the first flow attr is being
 offloaded normally and linked to the next attr (post action rule) by
 setting an id on reg_c for matching.
 Post action rule (rule created from second attr instance) match the
 id on reg_c and does rest of the actions.
 
 Example rule with actions CT,goto will be created with 2 attr instances
 as following: attr1(CT)->attr2(goto)

Some TC actions use post actions for their implementation.
For example CT and sample actions.

create a post action rule for it as a generic parsing step.
Now multi table actions like CT, sample don't require to do it.

When flow has multiple attr instances, the first flow attr is being
offloaded normally and linked to the next attr (post action rule) by
setting an id on reg_c for matching.
Post action rule (rule created from second attr instance) match the
id on reg_c and does rest of the actions.
