Marvell Prestera 98DX326x integrates up to 24 ports of 1GbE with 8
ports of 10GbE uplinks or 2 ports of 40Gbps stacking for a largely
wireless SMB deployment.

Prestera Switchdev is a firmware based driver which operates via PCI
bus. The driver is split into 2 modules:

    - prestera_sw.ko - main generic Switchdev Prestera ASIC related logic.

    - prestera_pci.ko - bus specific code which also implements firmware
                        loading and low-level messaging protocol between
                        firmware and the switchdev driver.

This driver implementation includes only L1 & basic L2 support.

The core Prestera switching logic is implemented in prestera.c, there is
an intermediate hw layer between core logic and firmware. It is
implemented in prestera_hw.c, the purpose of it is to encapsulate hw
related logic, in future there is a plan to support more devices with
different HW related configurations.
Very excited by this patch series. We have some custom designs using
the AC3x. I'm in the process of getting the board dtses ready for
submitting upstream. 

Please feel free to add me to the Cc list for future versions of this
patch set (and releated ones).

I'll also look to see what we can do to test on our hardware platforms.
Sure. I will add you to CC's list. Please note that you need to make
sure that your board design follows Marvell Design Guide for switchdev
solution.

The firmware has to be loaded each time device is reset. The driver is
loading it from:

    /lib/firmware/marvell/prestera_fw_img.bin

The firmware image version is located within internal header and consists
of 3 numbers - MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Additionally, driver has hard-coded
minimum supported firmware version which it can work with:

    MAJOR - reflects the support on ABI level between driver and loaded
            firmware, this number should be the same for driver and
            loaded firmware.

    MINOR - this is the minimal supported version between driver and the
            firmware.

    PATCH - indicates only fixes, firmware ABI is not changed.

The firmware image will be submitted to the linux-firmware after the
driver is accepted.

The following Switchdev features are supported:

    - VLAN-aware bridge offloading
    - VLAN-unaware bridge offloading
    - FDB offloading (learning, ageing)
    - Switchport configuration

CPU RX/TX support will be provided in the next contribution.
