net: dsa: lantiq_gswip: serialize access to the PCE registers
The GSWIP switch accesses various bridging layer tables (VLANs, FDBs, forwarding rules) indirectly through PCE registers. These hardware accesses are non-atomic, being comprised of several register reads and writes. These accesses are currently serialized by the rtnl_lock, but DSA is changing its driver API and that lock will no longer be held when calling ->port_fdb_add() and ->port_fdb_del(). So this driver needs to serialize the access to the PCE registers using its own locking scheme. This patch adds that. Note that the driver also uses the gswip_pce_load_microcode() function to load a static configuration for the packet classification engine into a table using the same registers. It is currently not protected, but since that configuration is only done from the dsa_switch_ops :: setup method, there is no risk of it being concurrent with other operations.
