Describe the Distributed Switch Architecture (DSA) - compliant MDIO devices. In ACPI world they are represented as children of the MDIO busses, which are responsible for their enumeration based on the standard _ADR fields and description in _DSD objects under device properties UUID [1].

Why is this document part of Linux code base ? How will the other OSes be aware of this ? I assume there was some repository to maintain such DSDs so that it is accessible for other OSes. I am not agreeing or disagreeing on the change itself, but I am concerned about this present in the kernel code. -- Regards, Sudeep
