Re: [PATCH net-next-v2 0/6] net: dsa: Make bcm_sf2 utilize b53_common

Hi all,

This patch series makes the bcm_sf2 driver utilize a large number of the core
functions offered by the b53_common driver since the SWITCH_CORE registers are
mostly register compatible with the switches driven by b53_common.

In order to accomplish that, we just override the dsa_driver_ops callbacks that
we need to. There are still integration specific logic from the bcm_sf2 that we
cannot absorb into b53_common because it is just not there, mostly in the area
of link management and power management, but most of the features are within
b53_common now: VLAN, FDB, bridge

Along the process, we also improve support for the BCM58xx SoCs, since those
also have the same version of the switching IP that 7445 has (for which bcm_sf2
was developed).

Changes in v2:

- rebased against "net: dsa: rename switch operations structure"

This still doesn't apply cleanly to net-next, can you respin it one more
time and double check your work?

Thanks.
