Re: [net-next v23 2/7] net: mtip: The L2 switch driver for imx287

This patch series provides support for More Than IP L2 switch embedded
in the imx287 SoC.

This is a two port switch (placed between uDMA[01] and MAC-NET[01]),
which can be used for offloading the network traffic.

It can be used interchangeably with current FEC driver - to be more
specific: one can use either of it, depending on the requirements.

The biggest difference is the usage of DMA - when FEC is used, separate
DMAs are available for each ENET-MAC block.
However, with switch enabled - only the DMA0 is used to send/receive data
to/form switch (and then switch sends them to respecitive ports).

I sent out the AI code reviews while at it, without looking at them.
So please approach them with caution..
