dts: add ICMP to packet filter config
Checks
Commit Message
NICs like the Intel E810-C often produce ICMP packets. These packets
are stray and can interfere with testing. Therefore, add an ICMP
filtering option in the packet filter.
Moreover, use Scapy constants for the header values.

Hi there,
sending in a new simple patch to introduce a new packet filter.
Best,
Luca

Okay, this sounds harmless. But, is Paul okay with this approach? My
understanding is that he wants the testsuites to be written such that they
don't require that the wire is "quiet" from LLDP, ICMP etc.

^Looks good, thanks.
