This series collects a set of fixes and enhancements for the NXP DPAA
bus, mempool, dma, crypto and net drivers targeting 26.11.

It includes memory-leak and resource-cleanup fixes on the device
remove/close paths, more robust frame queue and congestion-group
shutdown, secondary-process safety guards, BPID and cgrid lifecycle
handling, and several new features: offline (O/H) port device support,
enhanced virtual storage profile (VSP) port support, fmcless Rx queue
configuration via devargs, Rx/Tx taildrop threshold devargs, non
fmX-macY shared Ethernet naming, and DMA scatter-gather and
errata-workaround devargs. Documentation and release notes are updated
accordingly.

v18:
* Dropped the "net/dpaa: fix device remove" patch. It papered over the
  symptom in rte_dpaa_remove() instead of fixing the cause, and was
  replaced by the two fixes now at the head of the series.
* net/dpaa: fix the double dpaa_eth_dev_close() call and the eth_dev
  dereference before the NULL check in rte_dpaa_remove().
* net/dpaa: unwind rte_dpaa_probe() through cleanup labels so the Tx SG
  mempool failure path closes the device and releases the port instead of
  leaking the port, the queue arrays and the QMan FQID/CGRID ranges.

Much better but still see some leftovers in AI review.
