[PATCH net-next 3/3] dt-bindings: net: dsa: Document dsa,tag-protocol property

From: Tobias Waldekranz <tobias@waldekranz.com>
Date: 2021-03-26 10:58:25
Also in: linux-devicetree
Subsystem: networking drivers, networking [dsa], open firmware and flattened device tree bindings, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Vladimir Oltean, Rob Herring, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Conor Dooley, Linus Torvalds

The 'dsa,tag-protocol' is used to force a switch tree to use a
particular tag protocol, typically because the Ethernet controller
that it is connected to is not compatible with the default one.
