This patch adds to mlx5 drivers support for 8 ports HCAs.
Starting with ConnectX-8 HCAs with 8 ports are possible.
As most driver parts aren't affected by such configuration most driver
code is unchanged.
Specially the only affected areas are:
- Lag
- Multiport E-Switch
- Single FDB E-Switch
All of the above are already factored in generic way, and LAG and VF LAG
are tested, so all that left is to change a #define and remove checks
which are no longer needed.
However, Multiport E-Switch is not tested yet, so it is left untouched.
This patch will allow to create hardware LAG/VF LAG when all 8 ports are
added to the same bond device.
for example, In order to activate the hardware lag a user can execute
the following:
ip link add bond0 type bond
ip link set bond0 type bond miimon 100 mode 2
ip link set eth2 master bond0
ip link set eth3 master bond0
ip link set eth4 master bond0
ip link set eth5 master bond0
ip link set eth6 master bond0
ip link set eth7 master bond0
ip link set eth8 master bond0
ip link set eth9 master bond0
Where eth2, eth3, eth4, eth5, eth6, eth7, eth8 and eth9 are the PFs of
the same HCA.
