When user issues these cmds:
1. Either a) or b)
a) mqprio with hardware offload disabled
b) taprio with txtime-assist feature enabled
2. etf
3. tc qdisc delete
4. taprio with base time in the past
At step 4, qbv_config_change_errors wrongly increased by 1.
Excerpt from IEEE 802.1Q-2018 8.6.9.3.1:
"If AdminBaseTime specifies a time in the past, and the current schedule
is running, then: Increment ConfigChangeError counter"
qbv_config_change_errors should only increase if base time is in the past
and no taprio is active. In user perspective, taprio was not active when
first triggered at step 4. However, i225/6 reuses qbv for etf, so qbv is
enabled with a dummy schedule at step 2 where it enters
igc_tsn_enable_offload() and qbv_count got incremented to 1. At step 4, it
enters igc_tsn_enable_offload() again, qbv_count is incremented to 2.
Because taprio is running, tc_setup_type is TC_SETUP_QDISC_ETF and
qbv_count > 1, qbv_config_change_errors value got incremented.
This issue happens due to reliance on qbv_count field where a non-zero
value indicates that taprio is running. But qbv_count increases
regardless if taprio is triggered by user or by other tsn feature. It does
not align with qbv_config_change_errors expectation where it is only
concerned with taprio triggered by user.
Fixing this by relocating the qbv_config_change_errors logic to
igc_save_qbv_schedule(), eliminating reliance on qbv_count and its
inaccuracies from i225/6's multiple uses of qbv feature for other TSN
features.
The new function created: igc_tsn_is_taprio_activated_by_user() uses
taprio_offload_enable field to indicate that the current running taprio
was triggered by user, instead of triggered by non-qbv feature like etf.

The launchtime offset should be corrected according to sections 7.5.2.6
Transmit Scheduling Latency of the Intel Ethernet I225/I226 Software
User Manual.
Software can compensate the latency between the transmission scheduling
and the time that packet is transmitted to the network by setting this
GTxOffset register. Without setting this register, there may be a
significant delay between the packet scheduling and the network point.
This patch helps to reduce the latency for each of the link speed.
Before:
10Mbps : 11000 - 13800 nanosecond
100Mbps : 1300 - 1700 nanosecond
1000Mbps : 190 - 600 nanosecond
2500Mbps : 1400 - 1700 nanosecond
After:
10Mbps : less than 750 nanosecond
100Mbps : less than 192 nanosecond
1000Mbps : less than 128 nanosecond
2500Mbps : less than 128 nanosecond
Test Setup:
Talker : Use l2_tai.c to generate the launchtime into packet payload.
Listener: Use timedump.c to compute the delta between packet arrival and
LaunchTime packet payload.

Separates the procedure done during reset from applying a
configuration, knowing when the code is executing allow us to
separate the better what changes the hardware state from what
changes only the driver state.
Introduces a flag for bookkeeping the driver state of TSN
features. When Qav and frame-preemption is also implemented
this flag makes it easier to keep track on whether a TSN feature
driver state is enabled or not though controller state changes,
say, during a reset.

Adds support for translating taprio schedules into i225 cycles. This
will allow schedules to run in the hardware, making the schedules
enforcement more precise and saving CPU time.
Right now, the only simple schedules are allowed, complex schedules are
rejected. "simple" in this context are schedules that each HW queue is
opened and closed only once in each cycle.
Changing schedules is still not supported as well.
