    octeontx2-af: nix and lbk in loop mode in 98xx · aefaa8c7
    Harman Kalra authored
    In 98xx, there are 2 NIX blocks and 4 LBK blocks present. The way
    these NIX-LBK should be configured depends on the use case. By
    default loopback functionality is supported in AF VF pairs which
    are attached to NIX0 and NIX1 LFs alternatively to ensure load
    balancing. NIX0 transmits a packet to LBK1 which will be received
    by NIX1 and packet transmitted by NIX1 will get received by NIX0 via
    LBK2.
    
    There are some requirements where only one AF VF is used and respective
    NIX is expected to operate in a mode where it can receive it own packet
    back. This can be achieved if NIX0 sends packet to LBK0 and not LBK1.
    Adding a flag in LF alloc request mailbox which can setup NIX0 to use
    LBK0 and NIX1 can use LBK3.
