This series of patches add support for parsing switch headers and

PHYs that support changing modulation type ,user can configure it
through private flags pam4.

Marvell switches support DSA(distributed switch architecture) with
different switch headers like FDSA and EDSA. This patch series adds
private flags to enable user to configure interface in fdsa/edsa
mode such that flow steering (forwading packets to pf/vf depending on
switch header fields) and packet parsing can be acheived.

Hi Hariprasad 

Private flags sound very wrong here. I would expect to see some
integration between the switchdev/DSA driver and the MAC driver.
Please show how this works in combination with
drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx or drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/prestera.
