net: mscc: ocelot: convert the VLAN masks to a list
First and foremost, the driver currently allocates a constant sized 4K * u32 (16KB memory) array for the VLAN masks. However, a typical application might not need so many VLANs, so if we dynamically allocate the memory as needed, we might actually save some space. Secondly, we'll need to keep more advanced bookkeeping of the VLANs we have, notably we'll have to check how many untagged and how many tagged VLANs we have. This will have to stay in a structure, and allocating another 16 KB array for that is again a bit too much. So refactor the bridge VLANs in a linked list of structures. The hook points inside the driver are ocelot_vlan_member_add() and ocelot_vlan_member_del(), which previously used to operate on the ocelot->vlan_mask[vid] array element. ocelot_vlan_member_add() and ocelot_vlan_member_del() used to call ocelot_vlan_member_set() to commit to the ocelot->vlan_mask. Additionally, we had two calls to ocelot_vlan_member_set() from outside those callers, and those were directly from ocelot_vlan_init(). Those calls do not set up bridging service VLANs, instead they: - clear the VLAN table on reset - set the port pvid to the value used by this driver for VLAN-unaware standalone port operation (VID 0) So now, when we have a structure which represents actual bridge VLANs, VID 0 doesn't belong in that structure, since it is not part of the bridging layer. So delete the middle man, ocelot_vlan_member_set(), and let ocelot_vlan_init() call directly ocelot_vlant_set_mask() which forgoes any data structure and writes directly to hardware, which is all that we need.
