The responsibility for reporting of RX software timestamp has moved to
the core layer (see __ethtool_get_ts_info()), remove usage from the
device drivers.

In prevision to add new UAPI for hwtstamp we will be limited to the struct
ethtool_ts_info that is currently passed in fixed binary format through the
ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO ethtool ioctl. It would be good if new kernel code
already started operating on an extensible kernel variant of that
structure, similar in concept to struct kernel_hwtstamp_config vs struct
hwtstamp_config.
Since struct ethtool_ts_info is in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h, here
we introduce the kernel-only structure in include/linux/ethtool.h.
The manual copy is then made in the function called by ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO.

According to the NAPI documentation networking/napi.rst, for the ethtool
API a channel is a IRQ/NAPI which services queues of a given type.
tsnep uses a single IRQ/NAPI instance for every TX/RX queue pair.
Therefore, combined channels shall be returned instead of separate tx/rx
channels.

Refill RX queue in batches of descriptors to improve performance. Refill
is allowed to fail as long as a minimum number of descriptors is active.
Thus, a limited number of failed RX buffer allocations is now allowed
for normal operation. Previously every failed allocation resulted in a
dropped frame.
If the minimum number of active descriptors is reached, then RX buffers
are still reused and frames are dropped. This ensures that the RX queue
never runs empty and always continues to operate.
Prework for future XDP support.

Without interrupt throttling, iperf server mode generates a CPU load of
100% (A53 1.2GHz). Also the throughput suffers with less than 900Mbit/s
on a 1Gbit/s link. The reason is a high interrupt load with interrupts
every ~20us.
Reduce interrupt load by throttling of interrupts. Interrupt delay
default is 64us. For iperf server mode the CPU load is significantly
reduced to ~20% and the throughput reaches the maximum of 941MBit/s.
Interrupts are generated every ~140us.
RX and TX coalesce can be configured with ethtool. RX coalesce has
priority over TX coalesce if the same interrupt is used.

Allow user space to read number of TX and RX queue. This is useful for
device dependent qdisc configurations like TAPRIO with hardware offload.
Also ethtool::get_per_queue_coalesce / set_per_queue_coalesce requires
that interface.

Received Ethernet frames are assigned to first RX queue per default.
Based on EtherType Ethernet frames can be assigned to other RX queues.
This enables processing of real-time Ethernet protocols on dedicated
RX queues.
Add RX flow classification interface for EtherType based RX queue
assignment.

The TSN endpoint Ethernet MAC is a FPGA based network device for
real-time communication.
It is integrated as Ethernet controller with ethtool and PTP support.
For real-time communcation TC_SETUP_QDISC_TAPRIO is supported.
