Assign a counter dev attribute according to device capability and use it for management of counters related to offloaded eswitch TC flows. With upcoming support for uplink LAG, we have two HW rules per one logical SW (TC) rule. Although the HW supports attaching one counter to multiple rules, we are allocating counter per HW rule. We need this separation for two reasons: 1. "flow eswitch" counter affinity HW require the counter to be allocated on the device where the eswitch rule is set. 2. for some use-cases (multi-path routing) each HW flow relates to different neighbour, hence our neigh update logic must have a per-rule HW accountant in order to provide the proper feedback to the kernel.

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.
