1. Query the firmware for filter mode, mask, and related ingress config
instead of trying to figure them out from hardware registers. Read
configuration from the registers only when the firmware does not
support this query.
2. Use the firmware to set the filter mode. This is the correct way to
do it and is more flexible as well. The filter mode (and associated
ingress config) can now be changed any time it is safe to do so.
The user can specify a subset of a valid mode and the driver will
enable enough bits to make sure that the mode is maxed out -- that
is, it is not possible to set another bit without exceeding the
total width for optional filter fields. This is a hardware
requirement that was not enforced by the driver previously.
