This series adds support for the RTL8367S-VB (chip ID 0x6642) to the
rtl8365mb driver. The chip belongs to a new "family D" that differs from
the existing family C in its VLAN and L2 table layouts, speed/RGMII
configuration and SerDes (SDS13) handling.
 
Patch 1 documents the chip in the devicetree binding.
Patch 2 adds the chip family infrastructure, with the per-family data
(port count, init jam table) in struct rtl8365mb_family_info (no
functional change).
Patches 3-4 add port speed and RGMII mode configuration for family D.
Patches 5-6 add VLAN 4k table access and raw-VID PVID handling.
Patches 7-8 add SDS13 PCS support and re-latching of the SerDes.
Patch 9 refactors the family C L2 MAC handling by introducing shared
pack/unpack helpers and reaching the family C serializers through
function pointers in the family info (no functional change).
Patch 10 makes the L2 (FDB/MDB) table access work on family D, which
has a 5-word entry layout, narrower table access fields and no EFID,
and where a VLAN-unaware bridge (VID 0) is handled with an SVL key.
Patch 11 adds the RTL8367S-VB chip table entry. It comes last, so that
no intermediate commit exposes a family D chip with incomplete
handling and the series stays bisectable.
 
Family C's functional behaviour is unchanged. Changes in a shared path
include a mutex serializing SerDes register access, as well as
.pcs_disable in pcs_ops and .conduit_state_change in dsa_switch_ops
(both bail out immediately on family C). The L2 table access and FDB/MDB
code is shared too; the family D handling is selected at runtime through
the family info and rtl8365mb_is_d() (patch 10). The RTL8367S-VB has 8
ports, described by num_ports in its family info (patch 11). On family
D, FDB/MDB offload is available, but there is no per-bridge FDB
isolation (no EFID), so only one bridge is offloaded
(max_num_bridges = 1). Further bridges are forwarded in software and
isolated by the port isolation masks only (patch 10).
 
Tested on a TP-Link Archer AX55 v1 (RTL8367S-VB, CPU port over HSGMII
to an IPQ5018) with bridge VLAN filtering and per-port PVIDs, by Oleg
Gavrilov.
 
Tested on family D by Gustavo Foletto Mora on a TP-Link EX511 v2
(RTL8367S-VB, CPU port 6 over 1G SGMII to an IPQ5018) on a live network,
with a VLAN-aware bridge (tagged trunk with VIDs 10-40, access ports on
VIDs 10 and 20) and a VLAN-unaware one: VLAN table and PVIDs, tagged and
untagged traffic through the CPU port, VLAN isolation, FDB and MDB
entries, VLAN add/delete churn, moving a port to a second bridge,
traffic in the switch and through the CPU port, a conduit down/up and
reboots, with no FCS, symbol, drop, fragment or jabber errors on the
checked ports.
 
Regression-tested on family C by Stanislaw Pal on a TP-Link Archer
AX55 v1 (RTL8367S, CPU port over a 2500base-x fixed link to an IPQ5018),
on a tree that also carries an 802.1Q-based tagger for this switch:
three boots (after sysupgrade, a reboot and a cold start) and traffic
between a LAN client and an 802.11s mesh in both directions, with no FCS
errors, drops or driver warnings. Family D paths are not exercised on
that chip.
 
Not covered: RGMII and real Wi-Fi stations. The re-latch in patch 8
only arms for 2500base-x on family D and was exercised only on the
AX55 v1 (RTL8367S-VB) tested by Oleg Gavrilov.

v9:
  - 2/11: add struct rtl8365mb_family_info holding per-family data
    (port count, init jam table); use num_ports from it in
    rtl8365mb_detect(); rename the port count constant to
    RTL8365MB_C_MAX_NUM_PORTS (Alvin)
  - 3/11: drop the FORCE_SPEED_WIDTH macro and add a mask for the most
    significant speed bit (Alvin)
  - 5/11: restructure the family D checks when unpacking the untag
    field; no functional change
  - 7/11: update the kernel-doc of sds_supported and the commit message
    for family D always setting it; note in a comment that the register
    and field names follow the vendor API
  - 8/11:
    - use explicit mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() instead of
      guard(mutex); no functional change
    - arm the re-latch only for 2500base-x on a CPU port, and say
      so in the commit message; ignore conduit state changes of other
      switches in the tree
  - 9/11: reach the family C L2 serialisers and entry size through
    function pointers in the family info (Alvin)
  - 10/11:
    - add the family D L2 serialisers to the family info, drop
      RTL8365MB_D_L2_MAX_PORT and the port checks, as the core never
      passes a port above num_ports - 1 (Alvin)
    - use an SVL key (IVL=0, FID=0) for VID 0, so static unicast
      and multicast entries match the learned ones in a VLAN-unaware
      bridge; they were written with IVL set and never replaced the
      learned entries (reported and tested by Gustavo Foletto Mora)
    - offload only one bridge on family D (max_num_bridges = 1),
      as the LUT cannot tell bridges apart without EFID; further bridges
      fall back to software forwarding
    - do not delete a unicast entry on family D if the entry
      found belongs to another port; update the l2_lock and EFID
      comments; note that the LUT aging value is undocumented
  - 11/11: describe the 8 ports of the RTL8367S-VB in its family info
    instead of a family check in rtl8365mb_detect(); mention the L2/LUT
    and table access differences in the family D overview comment
  - Dropped the Reviewed-by tags of Linus and Luiz from 2/11 and the
    one of Linus from 11/11, as these patches changed substantially.
    Linus, Luiz, could you please take another look? Tags on the other
    patches are unchanged.
  - Added Tested-by tags: Gustavo Foletto Mora on 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10,
    11 and Stanislaw Pal on 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10

v8: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/08611959-c555-46d9-8e7e-20b85d0c4056@yahoo.com/ (local)
  - 2/11: declare the rtl8365mb_is_d() helper as a global inline function
    in the new header
  - 9/10: split into two patches to improve structure and address reviewer
    comments:
    - 9/11 (new): introduce shared MAC pack/unpack helpers and refactor
      family C serializers without functional changes
    - 10/11: drop the confusing _any() suffixes in favor of clean
      symmetric dispatchers, switch to the global rtl8365mb_is_d() helper,
      and fix the memset size in family D serializers

v7: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/3bf4dd70-9771-497b-8c27-e925e0ef81eb@yahoo.com/ (local)
  - 3/10, 6/10: note that the family D path is unreachable until the last
    patch
  - 4/10: program EXT_TXC_DLY, the pin mux and the SerDes 1 disable
    before selecting RGMII; warn when RGMII is disabled because MAC4 owns
    EXT1
  - 8/10: act only on the conduit of the CPU port that carries the
    SerDes; queue the work with schedule_delayed_work() and rename the
    devres action to rtl8365mb_sds_relatch_disable()
  - 9/10: new, make L2/LUT access work on family D (5-word entries,
    narrower table access fields, LUT init, no FDB isolation)
  - 10/10: update the NET_DSA_REALTEK_RTL8365MB help text

v6: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/5a4715dd-89e0-4868-9ffb-c8fb73b18d04@yahoo.com/ (local)
  - 4/9: do not advertise RGMII for port 7 when MAC4 owns EXT1, instead
    of returning -EBUSY from mac_config(), which phylink ignores
  - 5/9: take IVL_EN from vlan4k->ivl_en and leave SVLAN_CHK_IVL_SVL at
    0, as the vendor API does
  - 7/9: pcs_get_state(): keep phylink's speed and duplex for SGMII and
    never report the link up with an unknown speed
  - 8/9: start the re-latch work when the conduit comes up and stop it
    when it goes down (.conduit_state_change); serialize it against
    pcs_config() with sds_cfg_lock; disable it for good on shutdown and
    unbind

v5: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/aa5fa12c-e43e-4e5e-9f77-c6eaf477abc4@yahoo.com/ (local)
  - 1/9: fix the subject
  - 4/9: refuse RGMII on EXT1 with -EBUSY when it is owned by MAC4,
    before touching any EXT1 register
  - 5/9: drop the unverified rationale for forcing SVLAN_CHK_IVL_SVL, say
    that the vendor API leaves it at 0, and note that the family D paths
    are not reachable until the last patch
  - 6/9: init prev_accepted_frame to avoid a maybe-uninitialized warning
  - 7/9: comment the write of the whole RX disable field, as in the vendor
    sequence; fix two comments that still credit pcs_link_up() on family D
  - 8/9: cancel the re-latch work from a reboot notifier instead of
    checking the driver data; fix the RESTORE_TRIES comment and do not
    sleep after the last failed restore attempt
  - 9/9: fix the description of the external interface indices. The v4
    changelog said that only HSGMII is exposed; that was wrong, SGMII is
    still exposed

v4: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/38872e6f-1264-4a93-9f81-8212173e909d@yahoo.com/ (local)
  - 1/9: reword the commit message (support is added by the series)
  - 3/9: document the per-port force enable register
  - 5/9: document both forced IVL bits, update stale comments
  - 6/9: clear the family D PVID registers at setup
  - 7/9: do not override the forced SGMII speed in pcs_get_state(),
    update stale comments, note that the patch is preparatory
  - 8/9: remember a failed restore and retry it first; stop the work
    after shutdown (driver data cleared)
  - 9/9: expose HSGMII only on the SerDes port, update the SerDes
    interface comment

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/e84d76ee-03df-49b0-8c9a-b289dfae8728@yahoo.com/ (local)
  - add a dt-bindings patch (1/9): RTL8367S-VB listed under
    realtek,rtl8365mb
  - add chip family infrastructure as its own patch (2/9), no
    functional change
  - squash the family D PVID getter and the PVID set/clear patches
    into one (6/9), so the read and write paths use the same register
    layout at every point of the series
  - add the RTL8367S-VB chip table entry last (9/9), after the family
    D speed, RGMII, VLAN and PCS support, so no intermediate commit
    can reach the chip with incomplete handling (reported by the
    automated review)
  - 6/9: fix the commit message (port p's write lands in port p >> 1)
    and update the stale kernel-doc and file comments
  - 8/9: start the re-latch work only for 2500base-x, cancel it from
    .pcs_disable, from pcs_config() and via a devres action; retry the
    SDS_MISC restore and come back soon if it fails; rewrite the
    commit message to match the code (reported by the automated
    review)
  - 9/9: document family D in the file header comment and in the
    learn limit comment (limit confirmed against the Realtek vendor
    API)

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/28382f3f-03c1-4606-9b11-86f118abeafe@yahoo.com/ (local)
  - 2/8: mask r_speed to the width of the FORCE_SPEED field before passing
    it to FIELD_PREP(), so that the family D 2500M value (5) cannot trip
    the compile-time range check; bit 2 still goes to FORCE_SPEED2
    (reported by the automated review).
  - 4/8: the commit message now explains why EXT_TXC_DLY[5:3] is cleared
    for RGMII on EXT1: the vendor RGMII setup does it, and the init jam
    table leaves the field at 2, which would add an extra TX delay on top
    of tx-internal-delay-ps. Add a comment describing the EXT_TXC_DLY
    layout (Andrew Lunn's review).
  - 8/8: document the new struct rtl8365mb members in the kernel-doc
    comment (sds_lock, sds_relatch, sds_relatch_count,
    sds_misc_target_val), which fixes the kernel-doc warnings.
  - 1/8, 3/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8: no changes.
