Vladimir Oltean c5e12ac3be net: mscc: ocelot: serialize access to the injection/extraction groups 
As explained by Horatiu Vultur in commit 603ead9658 ("net: sparx5: Add
spinlock for frame transmission from CPU") which is for a similar
hardware design, multiple CPUs can simultaneously perform injection
or extraction. There are only 2 register groups for injection and 2
for extraction, and the driver only uses one of each. So we'd better
serialize access using spin locks, otherwise frame corruption is
possible.

Note that unlike in sparx5, FDMA in ocelot does not have this issue
because struct ocelot_fdma_tx_ring already contains an xmit_lock.

I guess this is mostly a problem for NXP LS1028A, as that is dual core.
I don't think VSC7514 is. So I'm blaming the commit where LS1028A (aka
the felix DSA driver) started using register-based packet injection and
extraction.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
