Microchip VCAP switch classification helper library

Shared helper code used by Microchip Ethernet switch drivers (such as Sparx5 and LAN966x) to program their Versatile Content-Aware Processor classification engine, which handles packet matching and offloaded filtering rules inside the switch silicon.

recommendation

This is not actually a standalone driver; it is an internal support library that other Microchip switch drivers link against to configure their on-chip classification hardware. It only matters to those switch drivers and would not be evaluated for keep-or-remove on its own.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: Microchip VCAP support code under ethernet appears to be an internal helper/library block for switch classification/offload logic rather than a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
