This patch introduces the first driver to benefit from the switchdev
infrastructure and to implement newly introduced switch ndos. This is a
driver for emulated switch chip implemented in qemu:
https://github.com/sfeldma/qemu-rocker/

This patch is a result of joint work with Scott Feldman.
You could eliminate a lot of boilerplate code that delegates
ethtool/netdev operations from the network interface to the switch
driver if you made this a DSA driver, without registering a tag
protocol or by reworking that.

Other than that, this is a really nice piece of driver you got here,
it's definitively a clean design. Thanks!
