The NCSI driver defines a generic ncsi_channel_filter struct that can be
used to store arbitrarily formatted filters, and several generic methods
of accessing data stored in such a filter.
However in both the driver and as defined in the NCSI specification
there are only two actual filters: VLAN ID filters and MAC address
filters. The splitting of the MAC filter into unicast, multicast, and
mixed is also technically not necessary as these are stored in the same
location in hardware.
To save complexity, particularly in the set up and accessing of these
generic filters, remove them in favour of two specific structs. These
can be acted on directly and do not need several generic helper
functions to use.
This also fixes a memory error found by KASAN on ARM32 (which is not
upstream yet), where response handlers accessing a filter's data field
could write past allocated memory.

The current HNCDSC handler takes the status flag from the AEN packet and
will update or change the current channel based on this flag and the
current channel status.
However the flag from the HNCDSC packet merely represents the host link
state. While the state of the host interface is potentially interesting
information it should not affect the state of the NCSI link. Indeed the
NCSI specification makes no mention of any recommended action related to
the host network controller driver state.

The NCSI channel has been configured to provide service if its link
monitor timer is enabled, regardless of its state (inactive or active).
So the timeout event on the link monitor indicates the out-of-service
on that channel, for which a failover is needed.
This sets NCSI_DEV_RESHUFFLE flag to enforce failover on link monitor
timeout, regardless the channel's original state (inactive or active).
Also, the link is put into "down" state to give the failing channel
lowest priority when selecting for the active channel. The state of
failing channel should be set to active in order for deinitialization
and failover to be done.

repeated. An internal list of VLAN tags is maintained, and compared
against the current channel's ncsi_channel_filter in order to keep track

The issue was found on BCM5718 which has two NCSI channels in one
package: C0 and C1. C0 is in link-up state while C1 is in link-down
state. C0 is chosen as active channel until unplugging and plugging
C0's cable: On unplugging C0's cable, LSC (Link State Change) AEN
packet received on C0 to report link-down event. After that, C1 is
chosen as active channel. LSC AEN for link-up event is lost on C0
when plugging C0's cable back. We lose the network even C0 is usable.
This resolves the issue by recording the (hot) channel that was ever
chosen as active one. The hot channel is chosen to be active one
if none of available channels in link-up state. With this, C0 is still
the active one after unplugging C0's cable. LSC AEN packet received
on C0 when plugging its cable back.

The issue was found on BCM5718 which has two NCSI channels in one
package: C0 and C1. Both of them are connected to different LANs,
means they are in link-up state and C0 is chosen as the active one
until resetting BCM5718 happens as below.
Resetting BCM5718 results in LSC (Link State Change) AEN packet
received on C0, meaning LSC AEN is missed on C1. When LSC AEN packet
received on C0 to report link-down, it fails over to C1 because C1
is in link-up state as software can see. However, C1 is in link-down
state in hardware. It means the link state is out of synchronization
between hardware and software, resulting in inappropriate channel (C1)
selected as active one.
This resolves the issue by sending separate GLS (Get Link Status)
commands to all channels in the package before trying to do failover.
The last link states of all channels in the package are retrieved.
With it, C0 (not C1) is selected as active one as expected.

The original NCSI channel monitoring was implemented based on a
backoff algorithm: the GLS response should be received in the
specified interval. Otherwise, the channel is regarded as dead
and failover should be taken if current channel is an active one.
There are several problems in the implementation: (A) On BCM5718,
we found when the IID (Instance ID) in the GLS command packet
changes from 255 to 1, the response corresponding to IID#1 never
comes in. It means we cannot make the unfair judgement that the
channel is dead when one response is missed. (B) The code's
readability should be improved. (C) We should do failover when
current channel is active one and the channel monitoring should
be marked as disabled before doing failover.
This reworks the channel monitoring to address all above issues.
The fields for channel monitoring is put into separate struct
and the state of channel monitoring is predefined. The channel
is regarded alive if the network controller responses to one of
two GLS commands or both of them in 5 seconds.

channel, is waiting for configuration (bringup) or suspending
(teardown). The channel's state (inactive/active) indicates the
futher action (configuration or suspending) will be applied on the
channel. Another channel's state (invisible) means the requested
action is being applied.
* The hardware arbitration will be enabled if all available packages
and channels support it. All available channels try to provide
service when hardware arbitration is enabled. Otherwise, one channel
is selected as the active one at once.
* When channel is in active state, meaning it's providing service, a
timer started to retrieve the channe's link status. If the channel's
link status fails to be updated in the determined period, the channel
is going to be reconfigured. It's the error handling implementation
as defined in NCSI spec.

The NCSI response packets are sent to MC (Management Controller)
from the remote end. They are responses of NCSI command packets
for multiple purposes: completion status of NCSI command packets,
return NCSI channel's capability or configuration etc.
This defines struct to represent NCSI response packets and introduces
function ncsi_rcv_rsp() which will be used to receive NCSI response
packets and parse them.

The NCSI command packets are sent from MC (Management Controller)
to remote end. They are used for multiple purposes: probe existing
NCSI package/channel, retrieve NCSI channel's capability, configure
NCSI channel etc.
This defines struct to represent NCSI command packets and introduces
function ncsi_xmit_cmd(), which will be used to transmit NCSI command
packet according to the request. The request is represented by struct
ncsi_cmd_arg.

NCSI spec (DSP0222) defines several objects: package, channel, mode,
filter, version and statistics etc. This introduces the data structs
to represent those objects and implement functions to manage them.
Also, this introduces CONFIG_NET_NCSI for the newly implemented NCSI
stack.
* The user (e.g. netdev driver) dereference NCSI device by
"struct ncsi_dev", which is embedded to "struct ncsi_dev_priv".
The later one is used by NCSI stack internally.
* Every NCSI device can have multiple packages simultaneously, up
to 8 packages. It's represented by "struct ncsi_package" and
identified by 3-bits ID.
* Every NCSI package can have multiple channels, up to 32. It's
represented by "struct ncsi_channel" and identified by 5-bits ID.
* Every NCSI channel has version, statistics, various modes and
filters. They are represented by "struct ncsi_channel_version",
"struct ncsi_channel_stats", "struct ncsi_channel_mode" and
"struct ncsi_channel_filter" separately.
* Apart from AEN (Asynchronous Event Notification), the NCSI stack
works in terms of command and response. This introduces "struct
ncsi_req" to represent a complete NCSI transaction made of NCSI
request and response.
