The GSWIP switch accesses various bridging layer tables (VLANs, FDBs, forwarding rules) indirectly through PCE registers. These hardware accesses are non-atomic, being comprised of several register reads and writes. These accesses are currently serialized by the rtnl_lock, but DSA is changing its driver API and that lock will no longer be held when calling ->port_fdb_add() and ->port_fdb_del(). So this driver needs to serialize the access to the PCE registers using its own locking scheme. This patch adds that. Note that the driver also uses the gswip_pce_load_microcode() function to load a static configuration for the packet classification engine into a table using the same registers. It is currently not protected, but since that configuration is only done from the dsa_switch_ops :: setup method, there is no risk of it being concurrent with other operations.

README
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.
