RDMA/mlx5: Expose register c0 for RDMA device
This patch introduces improvements for matching egress traffic sent by the
local device. When applicable, all egress traffic from the local vport is
now tagged with the provided value. This enhancement is particularly useful
for FDB steering purposes.
The primary focus of this update is facilitating the transmission of
traffic from the hypervisor to a VF. To achieve this, one must initiate an
SQ on the hypervisor and subsequently create a rule in the FDB that matches
on the eswitch manager vport and the SQN of the aforementioned SQ.
Obtaining the SQN can be had from SQ opened, and the eswitch manager vport
match can be substituted with the register c0 value exposed by this patch.
