octeontx2-af: npc: cn20k: Add new mailboxes for CN20K silicon
This patch adds new mailboxes for CN20K silicon to support an updated
struct mcam_entry with 8 keywords instead of 7, maintaining backward
compatibility by using separate structures and mailbox handlers.

This isn't a bug, but the commit message description appears inaccurate. The
code shows that struct mcam_entry retains NPC_MAX_KWS_IN_KEY = 7, while a new
struct cn20k_mcam_entry was created with NPC_CN20K_MAX_KWS_IN_KEY = 8. Could
the commit message be updated to reflect that a new structure was created
rather than the existing one being resized?

Is rvu->fwdata guaranteed to be non-NULL here? Looking at rvu_fwdata_init(),
it can fail in several cases (cgx_get_fwdata_base() failure, ioremap_wc()
failure, or is_rvu_fwdata_valid() explicitly setting fwdata to NULL), and
rvu_setup_hw_resources() does not check its return value before calling
rvu_setup_msix_resources().
The platform check (is_rvu_otx2 || is_cn20k) does not guarantee fwdata is
valid since fwdata initialization depends on firmware availability, not
silicon version.

Does altaf_intr_data->gint_iova_addr get unmapped anywhere? Looking at
rvu_free_hw_resources(), only rvu->msix_base_iova is unmapped. If this second
DMA mapping fails, does the first mapping (stored at rvu->msix_base_iova)
also leak?

Can this overflow flr_vf_bmap[]? RVU_PFVF_FUNC_MASK is 0x3FF allowing vf
values 0-1023, but flr_vf_bmap is declared as unsigned long flr_vf_bmap[2]
which provides only 128 bits on 64-bit systems. If vf >= 128, set_bit() will
write beyond the array bounds.

Is it safe to call strstr() on all entries in irq_name[]? The array is
allocated with devm_kmalloc_array() which does not zero-initialize memory.
IRQ names are only set via sprintf() for specific vector indices, so unnamed
vectors will contain uninitialized data without a null terminator. Could this
cause strstr() to read past the buffer?

Should this explicitly reject req->set_cntr for CN20K? Other handlers
(rvu_mbox_handler_npc_mcam_alloc_counter, free_counter, unmap_counter)
return NPC_MCAM_INVALID_REQ for CN20K, but this function skips validation
and proceeds. Would it be more consistent to return an error if
is_cn20k(rvu->pdev) && req->set_cntr?

On CN20K, req->cntr is treated as an entry index since statistics are
per-entry. Should npc_mcam_verify_entry() be called to verify ownership
before clearing? Without validation, any VF could clear statistics for
entries owned by other VFs or the PF.

Similar to the clear function above, the CN20K path reads per-entry
statistics without ownership validation. Should npc_mcam_verify_entry()
be called before returning statistics? This could allow a VF to read
traffic statistics for entries owned by other VFs.
