- Switch to using 32b port/link capabilities in the driver. The 32b
format is used internally by firmwares > 1.16.45.0 and the driver will
now interact with the firmware in its native format, whether it's 16b
or 32b. Note that the 16b format doesn't have room for 50G, 200G, or
400G speeds.
- Add a bit in the pause_settings knobs to allow negotiated PAUSE
settings to override manual settings.
- Ensure that manual link settings persist across an administrative
down/up as well as transceiver unplug/replug.
- Remove unused is_*G_port() functions.

they were in the same region as normal filters.
These filters "hit" before anything else in the LE's lookup. The exact
order is:
a) High priority filters
b) TOE's active region (TCAM and/or hash)
c) Servers (TOE hw listeners)

- Ignore any type of TID where the start/end values are not in the
correct order. There are situations where the firmware isn't able to
reserve room for the number requested in the config file but doesn't
report a failure during configuration and instead sets end <= start.

These filters reside in the card's memory instead of its TCAM and can be
configured via a new "hashfilter" subcommand in cxgbetool. Hash and
normal TCAM filters can be used together. The hardware does an
exact-match of packet fields for hash filters, unlike the masked match
performed for TCAM filters. Any T5/T6 card with memory can support at
least half a million hash filters. The sample config file with the
driver configures 512K of these, it is possible to double this to 1
million+ in some cases.
The chip does an exact-match of fields of incoming datagrams with hash
filters and performs the action configured for the filter if it matches.
The fields to match are specified in a "filter mask" in the firmware
config file. The filter mask always includes the 5-tuple (sip, dip,
sport, dport, ipproto). It can, optionally, also include any subset of
the filter mode (see filterMode and filterMask in the firmware config
file).
For example:
filterMode = fragmentation, mpshittype, protocol, vlan, port, fcoe
filterMask = protocol, port, vlan
Exact values of the 5-tuple, the physical port, and VLAN tag would have
to be provided while setting up a hash filter with the chip
configuration above.
Hash filters support all actions supported by TCAM filters. A packet
that hits a hash filter can be dropped, let through (with optional
steering to a specific queue or RSS region), switched out of another
port (with optional L2 rewrite of DMAC, SMAC, VLAN tag), or get NAT'ed.
(Support for some of these will show up in the driver in a follow-up
commit very shortly).

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

- Deal with changes to port_type, and not just port_mod when a
transceiver is changed. This fixes hot swapping of transceivers of
different types (QSFP+ or QSA or QSFP28 in a QSFP28 port, SFP+ or
SFP28 in a SFP28 port, etc.).
- Always refresh media information for ifconfig if the port is down.
The firmware does not generate tranceiver-change interrupts unless at
least one VI is enabled on the physical port. Before this change
ifconfig diplayed potentially stale information for ports that were
administratively down.
- Always recalculate and reapply L1 config on a transceiver change.
