Hi!

quoted

I've got hardware with KSZ8895, and I'd like to use switch ports as
separate ethernet cards. I believe that means DSA support.

And there are even patches available from microchip... unfortunately
they are in strange form and for v3.18.

Is there newer version of the driver available somewhere? Is the
driver good starting point, or should I start with something else?

Hi Pavel

Woojung is the expert here. His DSA driver for the 9477 is a nice
clean driver.

Good.

Have you compared the 8895 to the 9477. Are they similar? Could the
existing 9477 be extended to support the 8895?

Register layouts are completely different, at the very least. I'm not
sure if functionality maps 1:1, that was not exactly easy to check.

I've ported the v3.18 driver to v4.4; it looks like v4.5 port will not
be easy. Plus question is if it works at all... time will tell.

Best regards,
									Pavel
