Is there any change of these ethernet ports being used to connect to
an Ethernet switch. We have had issues in the past with these sort of
platform devices combined with DSA.
There are only two possibilities. The BGX MACs have a multiplexer that
allows them to be connected to either the "octeon_mgmt" MIX packet
processor, or to the "ethernet-mac-pki" PKI/PKO packet processor. The
SoCs supported by these drivers do not contain any hardware that would
be considered an "Ethernet switch".
I'm not sure I fully understand what your question is though, so I may
not have answered it.
