Re: [RFC net-next 2/2] net: dsa: add Realtek RTL8366S switch driver

Hi Qingfang,

thanks for your patch! Overall it looks good and I will not
nitpick details since this is RFC.

Support Realtek RTL8366S/SR switch

I would mention that the DT bindings for the switch are already in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/dsa/realtek-smi.txt
(Hmmm we should convert these bindings to YAML too.)

        select NET_DSA_TAG_RTL4_A
+       select NET_DSA_TAG_RTL8366S

Hopefully we can use NET_DSA_TAG_RTL4_A for this
switch as mentioned.

Is this all? I was under the impression that RTL8366S
supports up to 8 ports (7+1).

+#define RTL8366S_CHIP_ID_REG                   0x0105
+#define RTL8366S_CHIP_ID_8366                  0x8366

Curiously RTL8366RB presents ID 0x5937. Oh well. Interesting
engineering process I suppose.

+#define RTL8366S_LED_2_3_CTRL_REG              0x0423

Again I wonder if there are more registers here for 8 ports?

+#define RTL8366S_PORT_NUM_CPU          5
+#define RTL8366S_NUM_PORTS             6

Hm 5+1? Isn't RTL8366S 7+1?

+#define RTL8366S_PORT_1                        BIT(0) /* In userspace port 0 */
+#define RTL8366S_PORT_2                        BIT(1) /* In userspace port 1 */
+#define RTL8366S_PORT_3                        BIT(2) /* In userspace port 2 */
+#define RTL8366S_PORT_4                        BIT(3) /* In userspace port 3 */
+#define RTL8366S_PORT_5                        BIT(4) /* In userspace port 4 */
+#define RTL8366S_PORT_CPU              BIT(5) /* CPU port */

Same here.

Overall the question about whether the switch is 5+1 or 7+1 is my
big design remark.

Maybe it is only 5+1 who knows...
