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 adjusts devlink param netlink helpers
and mlx5 so stack usage stays within -Wframe-larger-than limits once union
devlink_param_value grows.

Patch 1 improves CN20K MCAM visibility in debugfs: mcam_layout marks
enabled entries, dstats reports per-entry hit deltas, and mismatch lists
enabled entries without a PF mapping. MCAM enable state is tracked in a
bitmap updated from the CN20K enable path.

Patch 2 reduces stack usage in mlx5e_pcie_cong_get_thresh_config() by
reusing a single union devlink_param_value across four
devl_param_driverinit_value_get() calls (instead of union devlink_param_value
val[4] on the stack) and assigning each vu16 into mlx5e_pcie_cong_thresh,
so the helper stays under the frame-size warning limit as the union grows
(patches 3-4).

Patch 3 changes devlink_nl_param_value_put() and
devlink_nl_param_value_fill_one() to pass union devlink_param_value by
pointer instead of by value. Passing two copies of the union by value in
the param netlink path consumes over 500 bytes of argument stack and risks
CONFIG_FRAME_WARN as the union grows beyond its historical size (patch 4).

Patch 4 (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 5 adds a runtime devlink parameter srch_order to reorder CN20K
subbank search during MCAM allocation.

Patch 6 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 7 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 8 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 9 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.

The mlx5 change sits immediately before the devlink patches so the series
applies cleanly and stays warning-free when built incrementally;
pass-by-pointer precedes the U64 array type so helpers are not copying an
even larger union by value. The CN20K patches keep srch_order ahead of
NIX LF coordination, KPU-from-filesystem, X2/X4 handling, and the npc_priv
refactor that touches the same files heavily.

	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.
