Allowing per-port access to Switch Engine Broadcast Throttling Register
Hi Egil
In general, we are against using sysfs. If there is a generic
mechanism, that applies for all sorts of network interfaces, it should
be used instead of sysfs.
Is this intended to reduce the effect of broadcast storms?

Yes, this setting can be used to reduce effect of broadcast storms.
I knew you all dislike using sysfs. Still I had a hope you could accept
the dsa_net_device_to_dsa_port() function it the previous patch.
I feel it would be convenient to be able to add driver sysfs nodes in
private branches for own debug and fine tuning, without having to patch
the networking core.
