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.
