net: mscc: ocelot: adjust forwarding domain for CPU ports in a LAG



Currently when we have 2 CPU ports configured for DSA tag_8021q mode and
we put them in a LAG, a PGID dump looks like this:

PGID_SRC[0] = ports 4,
PGID_SRC[1] = ports 4,
PGID_SRC[2] = ports 4,
PGID_SRC[3] = ports 4,
PGID_SRC[4] = ports 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
PGID_SRC[5] = no ports

(ports 0-3 are user ports, ports 4 and 5 are CPU ports)

There are 2 problems with the configuration above:

- user ports should enable forwarding towards both CPU ports, not just 4,
  and the aggregation PGIDs should prune one CPU port or the other from
  the destination port mask, based on a hash computed from packet headers.

- CPU ports should not be allowed to forward towards themselves and also
  not towards other ports in the same LAG as themselves

The first problem requires fixing up the PGID_SRC of user ports, when
ocelot_port_assigned_dsa_8021q_cpu_mask() is called. We need to say that
when a user port is assigned to a tag_8021q CPU port and that port is in
a LAG, it should forward towards all ports in that LAG.

The second problem requires fixing up the PGID_SRC of port 4, to remove
ports 4 and 5 (in a LAG) from the allowed destinations.

After this change, the PGID source masks look as follows:

PGID_SRC[0] = ports 4, 5,
PGID_SRC[1] = ports 4, 5,
PGID_SRC[2] = ports 4, 5,
PGID_SRC[3] = ports 4, 5,
PGID_SRC[4] = ports 0, 1, 2, 3,
PGID_SRC[5] = no ports

Note that PGID_SRC[5] still looks weird (it should say "0, 1, 2, 3" just
like PGID_SRC[4] does), but I've tested forwarding through this CPU port
and it doesn't seem like anything is affected (it appears that PGID_SRC[4]
is being looked up on forwarding from the CPU, since both ports 4 and 5
have logical port ID 4). The reason why it looks weird is because
we've never called ocelot_port_assign_dsa_8021q_cpu() for any user port
towards port 5 (all user ports are assigned to port 4 which is in a LAG
with 5).

Since things aren't broken, I'm willing to leave it like that for now
and just document the oddity.
