SMID register maps multicast ID (MID) into a list of local ports.
As preparation for unified bridge model, add some required fields for
future use.
The device includes two main tables to support layer 2 multicast (i.e.,
MDB and flooding). These are the PGT (Port Group Table) and the
MPE (Multicast Port Egress) table.
- PGT is {MID -> (bitmap of local_port, SPME index)}
- MPE is {(Local port, SMPE index) -> eVID}
In Spectrum-1, both indexes into the MPE table (local port and SMPE) are
derived from the PGT table. Therefore, the SMPE index needs to be
programmed as part of the PGT entry via new fields in SMID - 'smpe_valid'
and 'smpe'.
Add the two mentioned fields for future use and align the callers of
mlxsw_reg_smid2_pack() to pass zeros for SMPE fields.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
