Add support in dpaa2-eth for PFC (Priority Flow Control) through the DCB ops. Instruct the hardware to respond to received PFC frames. Current firmware doesn't allow us to selectively enable PFC on the Rx side for some priorities only, so we will react to all incoming PFC frames (and stop transmitting on the traffic classes specified in the frame). Also, configure the hardware to generate PFC frames based on Rx congestion notifications. When a certain number of frames accumulate in the ingress queues corresponding to a traffic class, priority flow control frames are generated for that TC. The number of PFC traffic classes available can be queried through lldptool. Also, which of those traffic classes have PFC enabled is also controlled through the same dcbnl_rtnl_ops callbacks.

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.
