[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/6] Introduce DSA Ethernet switch class and Felix driver

[Alex Marginean]

DSA stands for Distributed Switch Architecture and it is a subsystem introduced
in the Linux kernel to support switches that:
- have an Ethernet link up to the CPU
- use some form of tagging to identify the source/destination port for Rx/Tx
- may be cascaded in tree-like structures.

DSA is described in depth here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/dsa/dsa.txt

>From the doc:

	Summarized, this is basically how DSA looks like from a network device
	perspective:


		    |---------------------------
		    | CPU network device (eth0)|
		    ----------------------------
		    | <tag added by switch     |
		    |                          |
		    |                          |
		    |        tag added by CPU> |
		|--------------------------------------------|

This patch set introduces a DSA class in U-Boot to support drivers of such
switches.  DSA drivers have to implement the following ops:
- enable/disable of switch ports,
- insert a tag in frames being transmitted, used by the switch to select the
  egress port,
- parse a tag in frames being received, used for Rx traffic.

DSA class code deals with presentation of switch ports as Ethernet interfaces,
deals with the master Ethernet device for I/O and helps with parsing of the DT
assuming the structure follows the DSA kernel binding.

Support for switch cascading is not included yet.

This patch set also introduces a driver for the Ethernet switch integrated into
NXP LS1028A, called Felix.  The switch has 4 front panel ports, I/O to/fom it is
done though an ENETC Ethernet interface and meta-data is carried between the
switch and the driver though an additional header pre-pended to the original
frame.
Network commands like tftp can be used on these front panel ports.  The ports
are disabled unless used so they do not cause issues on network topologies that
include loops.

Felix as seen on LS1028A RDB:
