Re: [PATCH 0/3]: net: dsa: mt7530: support MT7530 in the MT7621 SoC

I got your patch working on 4.20-rc5 and did a performance comparison.
With the staging driver (using iperf3) I get
  220 MBit/sec in
  680 MBit/sec out

with the patched mainline driver I get
  190 MBit/sec in
   93 MBit/sec out

(numbers are a bit rubbery, but within 10%)

I haven't looked into why this might be, but thought I would mention it.

Strangely when I test with scp, I get about 10MB/sec in both directions
with both drivers.  Maybe the CPU limits encryption speed.

I have a 4.4-based kernel where I get 940MBit/sec both ways - using a
precursor of the current staging driver.

Yes, thanks for bringing this up. I should have mentioned that I haven't
considered performance at all yet.
