A number of mlxsw-specific selftests currently detect whether they are run on a compatible machine, and bail out silently when not. These tests are however done in a somewhat impenetrable manner by directly comparing PCI IDs against a blacklist or a whitelist, and bailing out silently if the machine is not compatible. Instead, add a helper, mlxsw_only_on_spectrum(), which allows specifying the supported machines in a human-readable manner. If the current machine is incompatible, the helper emits a SKIP message and returns an error code, based on which the caller can gracefully bail out in a suitable way. This allows a more readable conditions such as: mlxsw_only_on_spectrum 2+ || return Convert all existing open-coded guards to the new helper. Also add two new guards to do_mark_test() and do_drop_test(), which are supported only on Spectrum-2+, but the corresponding check was not there.

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.
