Add XDP support to the bcmgenet driver, covering XDP_PASS, XDP_DROP,
XDP_TX, XDP_REDIRECT, and ndo_xdp_xmit.

The first patch converts the RX path from the existing kmalloc-based
allocation to page_pool, which is a prerequisite for XDP. The remaining
patches incrementally add XDP functionality and per-action statistics.

Tested on Raspberry Pi CM4 (BCM2711, bcmgenet, 1Gbps link):
- XDP_PASS: 943 Mbit/s TX, 935 Mbit/s RX (no regression vs baseline)
- XDP_PASS latency: 0.164ms avg, 0% packet loss
- XDP_DROP: all inbound traffic blocked as expected
- XDP_TX: TX counter increments (packet reflection working)
- Link flap with XDP attached: no errors
- Program swap under iperf3 load: no errors
- Upstream XDP selftests (xdp.py): pass_sb, drop_sb, tx_sb passing
- XDP-based EtherCAT master (~37 kHz cycle rate, all packet processing
  in BPF/XDP), stable over multiple days

Previous versions:
  v5: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260328230513.415790-1-nb@tipi-net.de/
  v4: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260323120539.136029-1-nb@tipi-net.de/
  v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260319115402.353509-1-nb@tipi-net.de/
  v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260315214914.1555777-1-nb@tipi-net.de/
  v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260313092101.1344954-1-nb@tipi-net.de/

Changes since v5:
  - Refactored desc_rx: always prepare xdp_buff and use
    bcmgenet_xdp_build_skb for both XDP and non-XDP paths, treating
    no-prog as XDP_PASS. (Jakub Kicinski)
  - Removed synchronize_net() before bpf_prog_put(), RCU handles
    the grace period. (Jakub Kicinski)
  - Save status->rx_csum before running XDP program to prevent
    bpf_xdp_adjust_head from corrupting the RSB checksum.
    (Jakub Kicinski)
  - Tightened TSB headroom check to include sizeof(struct xdp_frame).
    (Jakub Kicinski)
  - Fixed reclaim gating: check for pending frames on the XDP TX ring
    instead of priv->xdp_prog, so in-flight frames are still reclaimed
    after XDP program detach. (Jakub Kicinski)
  - Removed dead len -= ETH_FCS_LEN in patch 1. (Mohsin Bashir)
  - Added patch 7: minimal ndo_change_mtu that rejects MTU values
    incompatible with XDP when a program is attached. (Mohsin Bashir,
    Florian Fainelli)

Changes since v4:
  - Fixed unused variable warning: moved tx_ring declaration from
    patch 4 to patch 5 where it is first used. (Jakub Kicinski)

Changes since v3:
  - Fixed xdp_prepare_buff() called with meta_valid=false, causing
    bcmgenet_xdp_build_skb() to compute metasize=UINT_MAX and corrupt
    skb meta_len. Now passes true. (Simon Horman)
  - Removed bcmgenet_dump_tx_queue() for ring 16 in bcmgenet_timeout().
    Ring 16 has no netdev TX queue, so netdev_get_tx_queue(dev, 16)
    accessed beyond the allocated _tx array. (Simon Horman)
  - Fixed checkpatch alignment warnings in patches 4 and 5.

Changes since v2:
  - Fixed page leak on partial bcmgenet_alloc_rx_buffers() failure:
    free already-allocated rx_cbs before destroying page pool.
    (Simon Horman)
  - Fixed GENET_Q16_TX_BD_CNT defined as 64 instead of 32.
    (Simon Horman)
  - Moved XDP TX ring to a separate struct member (xdp_tx_ring)
    instead of expanding tx_rings[] to DESC_INDEX+1. (Justin Chen)
  - Added synchronize_net() before bpf_prog_put() in XDP prog swap.
  - Removed goto drop_page inside switch; inlined page_pool_put
    calls in each failure path. (Justin Chen)
  - Removed unnecessary curly braces around case XDP_TX. (Justin Chen)
  - Moved int err hoisting from patch 2 to patch 1. (Justin Chen)
  - Kept return type on same line as function name, per driver
    convention. (Justin Chen)
  - XDP TX packets/bytes now counted in TX reclaim for standard
    network statistics.

Changes since v1:
  - Fixed tx_rings[DESC_INDEX] out-of-bounds access. Expanded array
    to DESC_INDEX+1 and initialized ring 16 with dedicated BDs.
  - Use ring 16 (hardware default descriptor ring) for XDP TX,
    isolating from normal SKB TX queues.
  - Piggyback ring 16 TX completion on RX NAPI poll (INTRL2_1 bit
    collision with RX ring 0).
  - Fixed ring 16 TX reclaim: skip INTRL2_1 clear, skip BQL
    completion, use non-destructive reclaim in RX poll path.
  - Prepend zeroed TSB before XDP TX frame data (TBUF_64B_EN requires
    64-byte struct status_64 prefix on all TX buffers).
  - Tested with upstream XDP selftests (xdp.py): pass_sb, drop_sb,
    tx_sb all passing. The multi-buffer tests (pass_mb, drop_mb,
    tx_mb) fail because bcmgenet does not support jumbo frames /
    MTU changes; I plan to add ndo_change_mtu support in a follow-up
    series.

Nicolai Buchwitz (7):
  net: bcmgenet: convert RX path to page_pool
  net: bcmgenet: register xdp_rxq_info for each RX ring
  net: bcmgenet: add basic XDP support (PASS/DROP)
  net: bcmgenet: add XDP_TX support
  net: bcmgenet: add XDP_REDIRECT and ndo_xdp_xmit support
  net: bcmgenet: add XDP statistics counters
  net: bcmgenet: reject MTU changes incompatible with XDP
