Add full CPI (Converged PHY Interface) command handling required for
E825C devices. The CPI interface allows the driver to interact with
PHY-side control logic through the LM/PHY command registers, including
enabling/disabling/selection of PHY reference clock.
This patch introduces:
- a new CPI subsystem (ice_cpi.c / ice_cpi.h) implementing the CPI
request/acknowledge state machine, including REQ/ACK protocol,
command execution, and response handling
- helper functions for reading/writing PHY registers over Sideband
Queue
- CPI command execution API (ice_cpi_exec) and a helper for enabling or
disabling Tx reference clocks (CPI 0xF1 opcode 'Config PHY clocking')
- addition of the non-posted write opcode (wr_np) to SBQ
- Makefile integration to build CPI support together with the PTP stack
This provides the infrastructure necessary to support PHY-side
configuration flows on E825C and is required for advanced link control
and Tx reference clock management.

Thanks for your comment.
