Subject: [PATCH v3 0/8] net/mlx5: flow fast path validation

This patchset adds validations for flow items and actions
supplied by the user to fast path async flow API functions
implemented in mlx5 PMD.

- Patches 1-7: Prepares mlx5 PMD for adding fast path validations.
  Specifically:

  - Required functionality for validating queue indexes and
    target represented ports are extracted for reuse.
  - Additional info, required for validation, is stored in
    pattern and actions templates.
  - Introduces mlx5_fp_debug_enabled() function for checking
    if mlx5 PMD was compiled in debug mode.

- Patch 8: Introduce validations to:

  - rte_flow_async_create()
  - rte_flow_async_create_by_index()
  - rte_flow_async_actions_update()
  - rte_flow_async_destroy()

  These validations are enabled if and only if
  RTE_LIBRTE_MLX5_DEBUG macro is defined during compilation.

v3:
- Rebased on 24.07-rc1.
- Removed Depends-on tag for already marged ethdev patch.

v2:
- Split series 32095 into separate ethdev and mlx5 series.
- Rebased on latest commit in next-net-mlx-main.
- Removed Depends-on tags for already merged mlx5 patch series.

Dariusz Sosnowski (8):
  net/mlx5: extract target port validation
  net/mlx5: extract queue index validation
  net/mlx5: store pattern template items
  net/mlx5: store original actions in template
  net/mlx5: store expected type on indirect action
  net/mlx5: store modify field action
  common/mlx5: add debug mode indicator
  net/mlx5: add async flow operation validation
