[net-next,v6,00/15] Introduce flowtable hw offloading in airoha_eth driver

Message

Introduce netfilter flowtable integration in airoha_eth driver to
offload 5-tuple flower rules learned by the PPE module if the user
accelerates them using a nft configuration similar to the one reported
below:

table inet filter {
	flowtable ft {
		hook ingress priority filter
		devices = { lan1, lan2, lan3, lan4, eth1 }
		flags offload;
	}
	chain forward {
		type filter hook forward priority filter; policy accept;
		meta l4proto { tcp, udp } flow add @ft
	}
}

Packet Processor Engine (PPE) module available on EN7581 SoC populates
the PPE table with 5-tuples flower rules learned from traffic forwarded
between the GDM ports connected to the Packet Switch Engine (PSE) module.
airoha_eth driver configures and collects data from the PPE module via a
Network Processor Unit (NPU) RISC-V module available on the EN7581 SoC.
Move airoha_eth driver in a dedicated folder
(drivers/net/ethernet/airoha).

Changes in v6:
- Fix Smatch errors.
- Remove unnecessary GFP_DMA allocating NPU buffers
- Remove wrong dma coherent mask
- Rely on skb_cow_head() instead of skb_ensure_writable() in
  airoha_get_dsa_tag()
- Unregister net_device before deallocating metadata_dst
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v5:
- Fix uninitialized variable in airoha_ppe_setup_tc_block_cb()
- Rebase on top of net-next
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v4:
- Add dedicated driver for the Airoha NPU module
- Move airoha npu binding in net
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v3:
- Fix TSO support for header cloned skbs
- Do not use skb_pull_rcsum() in airoha_get_dsa_tag()
- Fix head lean computation after running airoha_get_dsa_tag() in
