====================
Dynamically allocate BPIDs for LBK
In current driver 64 BPIDs are reserved for LBK interfaces.
These bpids are 1-to-1 mapped to LBK interface channel numbers.
In some usecases one LBK interface required more than one bpids
and in some case they may not require at all. These usescas
can't be address with the current implementation as it always
reserves only one bpid per LBK channel.
This patch addresses this issue by creating free bpid pool from
these 64 bpids instead of 1-to-1 mapping to the lbk channel.
Now based on usecase LBK interface can request a bpid using (bp_enable()).
v1 -> v2:
- Modified commit message.
- Dropped patch2, as for now rvu netdev have no usecase. Will
be upstream along with the CPT driver.
- Addressed review comments by Simon Horman.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
