DSA drivers typically have different PCSs for each port. At the moment these are selected with mac_select_pcs, allowing the use of a single phylink_config for each port. If you need to pass PCSs through phylink_config then each port will needs its own config. This may prove difficult to integrate with the existing API.This might be a misunderstanding. Also here there is only a single phylink_config for each MAC or DSA port,My point is that while this is the case at the moment, it would not be the case with a "generic" select pcs. You would need to modify the config for each port to ensure the right PCSs are passed in.
I reread dsa_port_phylink_create and I think I missed the ds/dp distinction the first time around. --Sean
