Re: [PATCH net-next 00/17] New DSA bind, switches as devices

Andrew Lunn [off-list ref] writes:

The interesting patches here are the last three. They implement a new
binding for DSA, which removes a few limitations of the current DSA
binding. In particular, it allows switches to be true Linux devices.
These devices can be on any type of bus, unlike the old DSA binding
which assumes MDIO. See the commit log for more details. The second to
last patch modifies an existing boards device tree to use the new
binding, giving a good example of how switches can be true MDIO
devices. The last patch documents the new binding.

I know both John Crispin and Bryan Whitehead are interesting in
implementing DSA drivers, hence i have CC: you. Comments welcome.

Thanks go to Florian and Vivien for reviewing, testing and bug fixing
these patches.

Since RFC:

* Split the mv88e6xxx MDIO refactor into a rename patch and a refactor
  patch.
* Extend commit message with comment about wrong of_node_put()
* Fix destroy of cpu and dsa ports.
* Rename _DSA_TAG_LAST to DSA_TAG_LAST and add a comment.

This patchset works fine on a 3-mv88e6xxx setup with the old bindings.

Thanks,
