Re: [PATCH net-next v2] eth: fbnic: Add support to write TCE TCAM entries

[Mohsin Bashir <mohsin.bashr@gmail.com>]

Hi Andrew,

Basically, in addition to the RX TCAM (RPC) that you mentioned, we also 
have a TCAM on the TX path that enables traffic redirection for BMC. 
Unlike other NICs where BMC diversion is typically handled by firmware, 
FBNIC firmware does not touch anything host-related. In this patch, we 
are writing MACDA entries from the RPC (Rx Parser and Classifier) to the 
TX TCAM, allowing us to reroute any host traffic destined for BMC.

I will ensure that the commit message for the revised version clearly 
explains this.
