I'd love to see a switchdev driver but it's a huge task (and no I'm not
committing to writing it). As it stands Marvell ship a switch SDK
largely executes in userspace with a small kernel module providing some
linkage to the underlying hardware.

Is there any similarity to the mv88e6xxx family?

If it was similar registers, just a different access mechanising, we
could probably extend the mv88e6xxx to support MMIO as well as MDIO.

No the prestera family of devices are considerably more powerful (and 
complex) than the linkstreet devices.

I see, we have a similar situation with some of the Broadcom SoCs, the
BCM534xx/BCM5334x have a completely different integrated switching
engine that is not roboswitch compatible.

Thanks for the information, this is still valuable to have this
supported upstream.
