The PPE hardware counters maintain counters for packets handled by the
various functional blocks of PPE. They help in tracing the packets
passed through PPE and debugging any packet drops.
The counters displayed by this debugfs file are ones that are common
for all Ethernet ports, and they do not include the counters that are
specific for a MAC port. Hence they cannot be displayed using ethtool.
The per-MAC counters will be supported using "ethtool -S" along with
the netdevice driver.
The PPE hardware various type counters are made available through the
debugfs files under directory "/sys/kernel/debug/ppe/".

The BM (Buffer Management) config controls the pause frame generated
on the PPE port. There are maximum 15 BM ports and 4 groups supported,
all BM ports are assigned to group 0 by default. The number of hardware
buffers configured for the port influence the threshold of the flow
control for that port.

The PPE (Packet Process Engine) hardware block is available on Qualcomm
IPQ SoC that support PPE architecture, such as IPQ9574.
The PPE in IPQ9574 includes six integrated Ethernet MAC for 6 PPE ports,
buffer management, queue management and scheduler functions. The MACs
can connect with the external PHY or switch devices using the UNIPHY PCS
block available in the SoC.
The PPE also includes various packet processing offload capabilities
such as L3 routing and L2 bridging, VLAN and tunnel processing offload.
It also includes Ethernet DMA function for transferring packets between
ARM cores and PPE Ethernet ports.
This patch adds the base source files and Makefiles for the PPE driver
such as platform driver registration, clock initialization, and PPE
reset routines.
