====================
mlxsw: Implement IPV4 unicast routing
This patchset enables IPv4 unicast routing in the Mellanox Spectrum ASIC
switch driver. This builds upon the work that was done by a couple of
previous patchsets.
Patches 1,2,6 add a couple of dependencies outside the driver. Namely, the
ability to propagate ndo_neigh_construct()/destroy() through stacked devices and
a notification whenever DELAY_PROBE_TIME changes. When propagated down, the
ndos allow drivers to add and remove neighbour entries from their private
neighbour table. The DELAY_PROBE_TIME notification gives drivers the ability to
correctly configure their polling interval for neighbour activity, so that
active neighbour won't be marked as STALE.
Patches 3-5,7-8 add the neighbour offloading infrastructure, where patch 7 uses
the DELAY_PROBE_TIME notification in order to correctly configure the device's
polling interval. Patch 8 finally programs neighbours to the device's table
based on NEIGH_UPDATE notifications, so that directly connected routes can
be used.
Patches 9-16 build upon the previous patches and extend the router with
remote routes (nexthop) support.
