Moreover, we need to know ports of switch chip, what are really wired
to the connectors (e.g. five-port switch on the board with only three
connectors).
Well, DSA already does all of that for you and has Device Tree
bindings too to instantiate per-port net_device, create the switch
routing table in case switches are cascaded...
Just to be clear:
routing here implies how the devices are interconnected (as opposed
to L3 packet processing).
Is that generic enough to be usable for different vendors or only
specific to marvel?
