The PPE(packet process engine) hardware block is available in Qualcomm

The PPE includes integrated ethernet MAC and PCS(uniphy), which is used
to connect with external PHY devices by PCS. The PPE also includes
various packet processing offload capabilities such as routing and
briding offload, L2 switch capability, VLAN and tunnel processing
offload.
This patch series enables support for the PPE driver which intializes
and configures the PPE, and provides various services for higher level
network drivers in the system such as EDMA (Ethernet DMA) driver or a
DSA switch driver for PPE L2 Switch, for Qualcomm IPQ SoCs.
net-next is closed.
Also, please try to avoid sending patch-sets with more than 15 patches
for net or net-next.

Got it, at a later point when this review resumes, we will split the PPE
driver patches into two series, one is for PPE switch core feature,
another is for MAC/UNIPHY features. Hope this is fine.
Thanks for this comment.
