This series adds multi-flow RX support to the ICSSG ethernet driver and
exposes it via ethtool RX flow classification (rxnfc).
Patch (1/2): restructures the driver to support up to 8 independent RX flows
per EMAC interface. Each flow gets its own NAPI instance, IRQ, hrtimer,
page pool, and XDP/AF_XDP context while sharing a single UDMA channel and
descriptor pool. AF_XDP zero-copy is updated to track per-flow pools via a
bitmap, and per-flow page pool recycling is fixed by storing the flow_id in
prueth_swdata.
Patch (2/2): adds ethtool ETHTOOL_SRXCLSRLINS/SRXCLSRLDEL/SRXCLSRLALL support.
Rules match on EtherType (ETHER_FLOW) and steer matched frames to a
user-specified RX queue via ICSSG FT3 hardware content filters and the
16-entry classifier table. The classifier N result maps directly to UDMA
flow rx_flow_id_base+N, so queue steering takes effect in hardware without
per-packet CPU involvement.
Tested on AM64x EVM (SR2), both eth1 (PRU0/slice0) and eth2
(PRU1/slice1) with 8 RX flows. Verified via /proc/interrupts IRQ deltas:
ethtool -N eth2 flow-type ether proto 0x0800 action 2 → flow2 +123 frames
ethtool -N eth2 flow-type ether proto 0x0806 action 3 → flow3 +26 frames
default flow0 leakage: +2
