dsa_is_dsa_port() is interesting. Do we care about the tagging
protocol on DSA ports? We never see that traffic?

I believe this comes from me (see dsa_switch_tag_proto_match). I did not
take into consideration at that time the fact that Marvell switches can
translate between DSA and EDSA. So I assumed that every switch in the
tree needs a notification about the tagging protocol, not just the
top-most one.

Hi Vladimir

static int mv88e6xxx_setup_port_mode(struct mv88e6xxx_chip *chip, int port)
{
        if (dsa_is_dsa_port(chip->ds, port))
                return mv88e6xxx_set_port_mode_dsa(chip, port);

So DSA ports, the ports connecting two switches together, are hard
coded to use DSA.

        if (dsa_is_user_port(chip->ds, port))
                return mv88e6xxx_set_port_mode_normal(chip, port);

        /* Setup CPU port mode depending on its supported tag format */
        if (chip->info->tag_protocol == DSA_TAG_PROTO_DSA)
                return mv88e6xxx_set_port_mode_dsa(chip, port);

        if (chip->info->tag_protocol == DSA_TAG_PROTO_EDSA)
                return mv88e6xxx_set_port_mode_edsa(chip, port);

CPU ports can be configured to DSA or EDSA.

The switches seem happy to translate between DSA and EDSA as needed.
