octeontx2-pf: Add support to sync link state between representor and VFs
Implements the below requirement mentioned
in the representors documentation.
"
The representee's link state is controlled through the
representor. Setting the representor administratively UP
or DOWN should cause carrier ON or OFF at the representee.
"
This patch enables
- Reflecting the link state of representor based on the VF state and
link state of VF based on representor.
- On VF interface up/down a notification is sent via mbox to representor
to update the link state.
eg: ip link set eth0 up/down will disable carrier on/off
of the corresponding representor(r0p1) interface.
- On representor interface up/down will cause the link state update of VF.
eg: ip link set r0p1 up/down will disable carrier on/off
of the corresponding representee(eth0) interface.
