2015-08-09	mlxsw: Make system port to local port mapping explicit	Ido Schimmel	1	-0/+60
	System ports are unique identifiers in a multi-ASIC environment that represent all the available ports in the system. Local ports on the other hand, are unique only within the local ASIC. Since system port to local port mapping is not part of the HW-SW contract and since only single-ASIC configurations are currently supported, set an explicit 1:1 mapping by configuring the Switch System Port Record (SSPR) register.

2015-07-30	mlxsw: Add interface to access registers and process events	Ido Schimmel	1	-0/+1289
	Ethernet Management Datagrams (EMADs) are Ethernet packets sent between the host and the device in order to configure the available device registers. Another use case is notifications sent from the device to the host, letting it know about certain events, such as port up / down. Add the ability to construct EMADs with provisions to construct and parse the registers' payloads. Implement EMAD transaction layer which is responsible for the reliable transmission of EMADs. Also, add an infrastructure used by the switch driver to register for particular events generated by the device.
