Currently, mlxsw always uses a "controlled" flood mode on all Nvidia Spectrum generations. The following patches will however introduce a possibility to run a "CFF" (for Compressed FID Flooding) mode on newer machines, if the FW supports it. To reflect that, label all FID ops, FID families and FID family arrays with a _ctl suffix. This will make it clearer what is what when the CFF families are introduced in later patches. Keep the dummy family intact. Since the dummy family has no flood tables in either CTL or CFF mode, there are no flood-mode-specific callbacks. Additionally, add a remark at two fields that they are only relevant when flood mode is not CFF.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
