[PATCH RFC net-next 0/3] net: dsa: mxl862xx: support firmware update

From: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>

The MaxLinear MxL862xx switches are running a ZephyrOS-based firmware
which is stored on a dedicated SPI flash chip connected to the switch IC.
When using the switch with DSA a method to allow the host to update the
firmware is needed.

DSA currently doesn't support devlink's flash_update method and
implementing the necessary teardown and subsequent re-probe is not
trivial.

This series is marked as RFC as I'd like to receive feedback regarding
the use of devlink and the teardown/re-probe implementation.

Daniel Golle (3):
  net: dsa: wire flash_update devlink callback to drivers
  net: dsa: mxl862xx: add SMDIO clause-22 register access
  net: dsa: mxl862xx: add devlink flash_update and info_get
