Merge branch 'mlxsw-cleanups'



Petr Machata says:

====================
mlxsw: Cleanups in router code

This patchset moves some router-related code from spectrum.c to
spectrum_router.c where it should be. It also simplifies handlers of
netevent notifications.

- Patch #1 caches router pointer in a dedicated variable. This obviates the
  need to access the same as mlxsw_sp->router, making lines shorter, and
  permitting a future patch to add code that fits within 80 character
  limit.

- Patch #2 moves IP / IPv6 validation notifier blocks from spectrum.c
  to spectrum_router, where the handlers are anyway.

- In patch #3, pass router pointer to scheduler of deferred work directly,
  instead of having it deduce it on its own.

- This makes the router pointer available in the handler function
  mlxsw_sp_router_netevent_event(), so in patch #4, use it directly,
  instead of finding it through mlxsw_sp_port.

- In patch #5, extend mlxsw_sp_router_schedule_work() so that the
  NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE handler can use it directly instead of inlining
  equivalent code.

- In patches #6 and #7, add helpers for two common operations involving
  a backing netdev of a RIF. This makes it unnecessary for the function
  mlxsw_sp_rif_dev() to be visible outside of the router module, so in
  patch #8, hide it.
