[PATCH net] net/mlx5e: Fix ETS zero BW reporting when one TC holds 100%

From: Tariq Toukan

From: Carolina Jubran <cjubran@xxxxxxxxxx>

When ETS TCs with zero bandwidth are configured, the driver programs the
firmware using an alternate representation. On get, it needs
to recognize that representation so those TCs can be translated back and
reported as 0% bandwidth.

The existing detection relied on the programmed bandwidth because it was
enough to identify this representation. However, when a single ETS TC
owns 100% of the bandwidth, its firmware representation becomes the
same as a strict-priority TC, causing zero-bandwidth ETS TCs to be
reported with non-zero bandwidth values.

Use the cached TSA instead to distinguish the ETS and strict-priority
cases.
