[PATCH v4 0/5] Improve rte_tm support in ICE driver

[Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>]

This patchset expands the capabilities of the traffic management
support in the ICE driver. It allows the driver to support different
sizes of topologies, and support >256 queues and more than 3 hierarchy
layers.

v4:
* set reduces to only 5 patches:
  - base code changes mostly covered by separate base code patchset (merged rc1)
  - additional minor fixes and enhancements covered by set [1] (merged to next-net-intel for rc2)
* additional work included in set:
  - automatic stopping and restarting of port on configuration
  - ability to reconfigure the sched topology post-commit and then apply that via new commit call

v3:
* remove/implement some code TODOs
* add patch 16 to set.

v2:
* Correct typo in commit log of one patch
* Add missing depends-on tag to the cover letter
