The SMPE register maps {egress_port, SMPE index} -> VID.
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, the index into the MPE table - called switch multicast to
port egress VID (SMPE) - is derived from the PGT entry, whereas in
Spectrum-2 and later ASICs it is derived from the FID.
In the legacy model, software did not interact with this table as it was
completely hidden in firmware. In the new model, software needs to
populate the table itself in order to map from {Local port, SMPE index} to
an egress VID. This is done using the SMPE register.
Add the register for future use.

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.
