SFMR register creates and configures FIDs. As preparation for unified
bridge model, add a required field for future use.
The PGT (Port Group) table maps multicast ID (MID) to
{local port list, SMPE index} on Spectrum-1 and to {local port list} on
the other ASICs.
In the legacy model, software did not interact with this table directly.
Instead, it was accessed by firmware in response to registers such as
SFTR and SMID.
In the new model, the SFTR register is deprecated and software has full
control over the PGT table using the SMID register.
The configuration of MDB entries (using SFD) is unchanged, but flooding
configuration is completely different.
SFGC register maps {packet type, bridge type} -> {MID base, table type},
then with FID and FID-offset which are configured via SFMR, the MID index
is obtained.
Add the field 'flood_bridge_type' to SFMR, software can separate between
802.1q FIDs and vFIDs using two types which are supported.

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.
