net: mvpp2: cls: Add Classification offload support



This commit introduces basic classification offloading support for the
PPv2 controller.

The PPv2 classifier has many classification engines, for now we only use
the C2 TCAM match engine.

This engine allows to perform ternary lookups on 64 bits keys (called
Header Extracted Key), that are built by extracting fields from the packet
header and concatenating them. At most 4 fields can be extracted for a
single lookup.

This basic implementation allows to build the HEK from the following
fields :
 - L4 source and destination ports (for UDP and TCP)

More fields are to be added in the future.

Classification flows are added through the ethtool interface, using the
newly introduced flow_rule infrastructure as an internal rule
representation, allowing to more easily implement tc flower rules if
need be.

The internal design for now allocates one range of 4 rules per port
due to the internal design of the flow table, which uses 22 sub-flows.

When inserting a classification rule, the rule is created in every
relevant sub-flow.

This low rule-count is a very simple design which reaches quickly the
limitations of the flow table ordering, but guarantees that the rule
ordering will always be respected.

This commit only introduces support for the "steer to rxq" action.
