[PATCH net-next v2 3/3] octeontx2-af: add support for custom KPU entries

2020-09-21 Thread Stanislaw Kardach
Add ability to load a set of custom KPU entries via firmware APIs. This allows for flexible support for custom protocol parsing and CAM matching. The firmware file name is specified by a module parameter (kpu_profile) to allow re-using the same kernel and initramfs package on nodes in different pa
