[dts] [PATCH 1/6] framework: crb :add some parameters and check_Mellanox_pci function to identify mellanox device

[Raslan Darawsheh]

Hi, 
The following is a list of incompatibilities of dts: 
1- when getting the device information - in our CX3 NIC it doesn't have Ethernet in it.	 -- pci_devices_information_uncached_linux function. 
2- Mellanox NIC's don't support NIC binding -- bind_interfaces_linux 
3- For the CX3 NIC it has the same PCI address for the two ports . which should change the way of how interface names being retrievrd. 
4- Mellanox PMD is not enabled by default so I needed to enable it when installing DPDK. 
I also added Mellanox in the list of supported NICS. So I have 6 patches : 

[dts] [PATCH 1/6] framework: crb :add some parameters and	check_Mellanox_pci function to identify mellanox device  
[dts] [PATCH 2/6] framework:dut : excluding mellanox NICs from	beeing binded   
[dts] [PATCH 3/6] framework:settings :adding new defines for	ConnectX_3_Pro and ConnectX_4 and there drivers
[dts] [PATCH 4/6] framewark:project_dpdk : Enable MLX4 and MLX5	PMD's before compiling and disable binding   
[dts] [PATCH 5/6] framework:net_device : adding function	get_interface_name_Mellanox to get the ConnectX_3_Pro interfaces  
[dts] [PATCH 6/6] framework:tester: adding ConnectX_3_Pro second	port to the list of ports  


Kindest regards 
Raslan Darawsheh

Hi Darawsheh,
We have some questions about your patches. In your patch, crb module will check whether Mellanox nic on board.
Crb module focus on board operations in dts design and we do not want to involve any NIC concept.
For those special NICs, we have created one folder named "nics" for place special nic modules.

Could you please list what's the incompatibilities of dts, we hope to merge in your patch without change framework design.
