What i would really like to see happen is that the DSA core handles the registration of the LEDs, similar to how phylib does. The DT binding should be identical for all DSA devices, so there is no need for each driver to do its own parsing. There are some WIP patches at https://github.com/lunn/linux.git leds-offload-support-reduced-auto-netdev which implement this. Feel free to make use of them.Oh it's quite a lot of patches, I really cannot drive that because there are so many things about them that I don't understand the thinking behind... But I like what I see!O.K. Let me dust them off, rebase them on net-next and see what is missing.Thanks Andrew, appreciated! I'll be happy to rebuild it on top of what you put as the baseline, hopefully it will help Christian with the qca8k support as well?
Sure thing. I can test and see if I have problem with the generic approach.

You have some fibre things i don't have. I don't have a machine with fibre so i cannot test that.I can test that, the way I check for its presence is through device tree looking for an "sfp" phandle, AFAICT I don't see that the hardware can tell be when there is a fiber connected, but alas I don't have any datasheet.
