octeontx2-af: NIX Tx scheduler queue config support
This patch adds support for a PF/VF driver to configure NIX transmit scheduler queues via mbox. Since PF/VF doesn't know the absolute HW index of the NIXLF attached to it, AF traps the register config and overwrites with the correct NIXLF index. HW supports shaping, colouring and policing of packets with these multilevel traffic scheduler queues. Instead of introducing different mbox message formats for different configurations and making both AF & PF/VF driver implementation cumbersome, access to the scheduler queue's CSRs is provided via mbox. AF checks whether the sender PF/VF has the corresponding queue allocated or not and dumps the config to HW. With a single mbox msg 20 registers can be configured.
