This patch set adds initial support for AR8xxx switches using the DSA subsystem. It currently supports QCA8337 switch, and can be extended to other hardware in the same family. This switch was already discussed in the following thread: https://www.marc.info/?t=142601417400004&r=1&w=2 Below is a typical picture of a QCA8337 used in a standard home gateway configuration: +-----------+ +-----------+ | | SGMII | | | eth0+-------+ +------ 1000baseT MDI ("WAN") | wan| | 7-port +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN1") | CPU | | ethernet +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN2") | | RGMII | switch +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN3") | eth1+-------+ w/5 PHYs +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN4") | lan| | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | MDIO | \------------/ The switch is connected to the CPU using 2 xMII interfaces. As DSA only supports one logical interface to the switch, we split the switch using device-tree information into 2 parts: *port 6 (one of the xMII switch port) will be dedicated to one particular Ethernet port. From a system perspective, it will be seen as a regular PHY. *port 0 (the other xMII port) will act as the switch master interface When 2 xMII are used, the switch will therefore be seen as 2 devices: 1 PHY + 1 DSA switch. The configuration of this split is done using driver specific options in device-tree. The exact properties are detailed in the Documentation patch below.
