net: ethtool: add support for reset of AP inside NIC interface.
Add ETH_RESET_AP to reset the application processor(s) inside the NIC interface. Current ETH_RESET_MGMT supports a management processor inside this NIC. This is typically used for remote NIC management purposes. Application processors exist inside some SmartNICs to run various applications inside the NIC processor - be it a simple algorithm without an OS to as complex as hosting multiple VMs. Signed-off-by: Scott Branden <scott.branden@broadcom.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.
