BCM5325 doesn't implement FAST_AGE registers so we should avoid reading or writing them. Fixes: 967dd82ffc52 ("net: dsa: b53: Add support for Broadcom RoboSwitch") Signed-off-by: Álvaro Fernández Rojas <redacted> ---How about implementing a "slow age" procedure instead? Walk through the FDB, and delete the dynamically learned entries for the port? Address aging is important for STP state transitions.
That's a good suggestion, I suppose for now this can be b53 specific until we encounter another 20 year old switch and then we move that logic within the DSA framework? -- Florian
