This series extends Marvell octeontx2-af support for CN20K NPC (MCAM
debuggability, allocation policy, default-rule lifetime, optional KPU
profiles from firmware files, X2/X4 MCAM keyword handling in flows and
defaults, and dynamic CN20K NPC private state), adds a devlink mechanism
for multi-value parameters, and moves devlink_nl_param_fill() temporaries
to the heap so stack usage stays reasonable once union devlink_param_value
grows (patch 3).

Patch 1 improves CN20K MCAM visibility in debugfs: mcam_layout marks
enabled entries, dstats reports per-entry hit deltas (baseline updated in
software after each read; hardware counters are not cleared), and mismatch
lists enabled entries without a PF mapping.

Patch 2 allocates the per-configuration-mode union devlink_param_value
buffers and struct devlink_param_gset_ctx used by devlink_nl_param_fill()
with kcalloc()/kzalloc_obj() and funnels failures through a single cleanup
path so the netlink reply path stays safe as the union grows.

Patch 3 (Saeed) introduces DEVLINK_PARAM_TYPE_U64_ARRAY and nested
DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_VALUE_DATA attributes so drivers and user space can
exchange bounded u64 arrays; YAML, uapi, and netlink validation are
updated.

Patch 4 adds a runtime devlink parameter srch_order to reorder CN20K
subbank search during MCAM allocation (the param uses the u64 array type
from patch 3).

Patch 5 ties default MCAM entries to NIX LF alloc/free on CN20K, adds
NIX_LF_DONT_FREE_DFT_IDXS for PF teardown paths that must not drop default
NPC indexes while the driver still owns state, and tightens nix_lf_alloc
error propagation.

Patch 6 allows loading a custom KPU profile from /lib/firmware/kpu via
module parameter kpu_profile, with cam2 / ptype_mask wiring and helpers
that share firmware-sourced vs filesystem-sourced profile layouts.

Patch 7 makes default-rule allocation, AF flow install, and PF-side RSS,
defaults, and ethtool flows respect the active CN20K MCAM keyword width
(X2 vs X4), including X4 reference-index masking and -EOPNOTSUPP when a
flow needs X4 keys on an X2-only profile.

Patch 8 replaces file-scope npc_priv and static dstats with allocation
sized from discovered bank/subbank geometry, threads npc_priv_get()
through CN20K NPC paths, and allocates dstats via devm_kzalloc for the
debugfs helper.

Heap-backed devlink_nl_param_fill() sits immediately before the U64 array
param work so incremental builds stay stack-safe as the union grows; the
CN20K patches keep srch_order ahead of NIX LF coordination, optional KPU
profile load from firmware files, X2/X4 handling, and the npc_priv refactor
that touches the same files heavily.

Ratheesh Kannoth (7):
  octeontx2-af: npc: cn20k: debugfs enhancements
  devlink: heap-allocate param fill buffers in devlink_nl_param_fill
  octeontx2-af: npc: cn20k: add subbank search order control
  octeontx2: cn20k: Coordinate default rules with NIX LF lifecycle
  octeontx2-af: npc: Support for custom KPU profile from filesystem
  octeontx2: cn20k: Respect NPC MCAM X2/X4 profile in flows and DFT
    alloc
  octeontx2-af: npc: cn20k: Allocate npc_priv and dstats dynamically.

	I had to revert Jiri comment in v11 as sashiko was complaining about

	Added one patch which was rejected by simon in net
	(as it was kind of enhancement rather than a bug)
	Added one more patch- which allocates two variables from heap.
