mlxsw: core_acl_flex_actions: Work around hardware limitation
In the policy engine, each ACL rule points to an action block where the ACL actions are stored. Each action block consists of one or more action sets. Each action set holds one or more individual actions, up to a maximum queried from the device. For example: Action set #1 Action set #2 +----------+ +--------------+ +--------------+ | ACL rule +----------> Action #1 | +-----> Action #4 | +----------+ +--------------+ | +--------------+ | Action #2 | | | Action #5 | +--------------+ | +--------------+ | Action #3 +------+ | | +--------------+ +--------------+ <---------+ Action block +-----------------> The hardware has a limitation that prevents a policing action (MLXSW_AFA_POLCNT_CODE when used with a policer, not a counter) from being configured in the same action set with a trap action (i.e., MLXSW_AFA_TRAP_CODE or MLXSW_AFA_TRAPWU_CODE). Note that the latter used to implement multiple actions: 'trap', 'mirred', 'drop'. Work around this limitation by teaching mlxsw_afa_block_append_action() to create a new action set not only when there is no more room left in the current set, but also when there is a conflict between previously mentioned actions.
