Some applications set port configuration params like promisc mode
before calling dev_start(). This config results in a firmware exception
since this operation internally translates to sending of VPORT-UPDATE
before VPORT-START ramrod which is considered illegal from firmware
standpoint. So the fix is to send VPORT-START ramrod sooner
in dev_configure() rather than deferring it to dev_start().
This requires a bit of reshuffling in the code to move sending of
VPORT-START from qede_start_queues() to qede_dev_configure()
and VPORT-STOP from qede_stop_queues() to qede_dev_stop().
This sequence change also exposes a flaw in the port restart
flows where the fastpath resource allocation routine qede_init_fp()
functionalities need to be split, so that appropriate action is taken
based on the current port state. Eg: Do not re-initialize the status
block in a port restart case. This change ensures port start/stop
can be paired.
A new port state QEDE_DEV_CONFIG is added to distinguish between
port started from scratch vs port requiring a reconfig (like MTU).
The function qede_config_rx_mode() is removed since the individual
port config will be replayed anyways on a restart.

Previous release of the qede PMD had a limitation that the
driver expects the number of tx and rx queues to be the same.
This patch fixes this issue by making appropriate changes in
control and data path.

This patch updates the base driver and incorporates necessary changes
required to bring in the new firmware 8.10.9.0.
In addition, it would allow driver to add new functionalities that might
be needed in future.

The Qlogic Everest Driver for Ethernet(QEDE) Poll Mode Driver(PMD) is
the DPDK specific module for QLogic FastLinQ QL4xxxx 25G/40G CNA family
of adapters as well as their virtual functions (VF) in SR-IOV context.
This patch adds QEDE PMD, which interacts with base driver and
initialises the HW.
This patch content also includes:
- eth_dev_ops callbacks
- Rx/Tx support for the driver
- link default configuration
- change link property
- link up/down/update notifications
- vlan offload and filtering capability
- device/function/port statistics
- qede nic guide and updated overview.rst
Note that the follow on commits contain the code for the features mentioned
in documents but not implemented in this patch.
