This series of patches is to modify the original KSZ9477 DSA driver so
that other KSZ switch drivers can be added and use the common code.

There are several steps to accomplish this achievement.  First is to
rename some function names with a prefix to indicate chip specific
function.  Second is to move common code into header that can be shared.
Last is to modify tag_ksz.c so that it can handle many tail tag formats
used by different KSZ switch drivers.

ksz_common.c will contain the common code used by all KSZ switch drivers.
ksz9477.c will contain KSZ9477 code from the original ksz_common.c.
ksz9477_spi.c is renamed from ksz_spi.c.
ksz9477_reg.h is renamed from ksz_9477_reg.h.
ksz_common.h is added to provide common code access to KSZ switch
drivers.
ksz_spi.h is added to provide common SPI access functions to KSZ SPI
drivers.

Is something gating this series from getting included? It's been nearly
8 months now and this has not been include nor resubmitted, any plans to
rebase that patch series and work towards inclusion in net-next when it
opens back again?

Thank you!

Sorry for the long delay.  I will restart my kernel submission effort next month
after finishing the work on current development project.
