net: mvpp2: Add TCAM entry to drop flow control pause frames
Issue: Flow control frame used to pause GoP(MAC) was delivered to the CPU and created a load on the CPU. Since XOFF/XON frames are used only by MAC, these frames should be dropped inside MAC. Fix: According to 802.3-2012 - IEEE Standard for Ethernet pause frame has unique destination MAC address 01-80-C2-00-00-01. Add TCAM parser entry to track and drop pause frames by destination MAC.
