[PATCH net-next v2] net/mlx5e: advertise tcp-data-split support

From: Dimitri Daskalakis <redacted>

The ability to set tcp-data-split was introduced in
commit 46bcce5dfd33 ("net/mlx5e: Support ethtool tcp-data-split settings")
This commit dropped reporting from mlx5e_ethtool_get_ringparam()
without explaining why. commit d347b28c492e ("net/mlx5e: Add hds-thresh
query support via ethtool") added support for ETHTOOL_RING_USE_HDS_THRS,
and modified mlx5e_ethtool_get_ringparam() to report an hds_thresh of 0.

Between these two commits, the hds selftest helper _defer_reset_hds()
would skip the reset because neither hds-thresh or tcp-data-split was
present in the ring config. After the second commit this introduced
a KeyError in the hds.set_hds_enable/disable tests.

mlx5 couples tcp-data-split with rx-gro-hw. Users can currently disable
tcp-data-split then enable HW GRO. The kernel reports tcp-data-split
off, but the HW is presumably splitting.

Add back tcp-data-split reporting in mlx5e_ethtool_get_ringparam(),
and de-feature tcp-data-split disable. Users can either enable it
(if HW GRO is enabled), or leave it under driver control.

This is not a fix since the feature is still functional with
HW GRO enabled.

Changes in v2:
- Leave kernel_param->tcp_data_split as ETHTOOL_TCP_DATA_SPLIT_UNKNOWN if the
  device does not support HW GRO
- Prevent users from disabling tcp-data-split
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260923230521.1267511-1-dimitri.daskalakis1@gmail.com/ (local)
