Just for my information, do we also support the actual switch driver in Linux, or just the parts that are common with Armada? Arnd

Adding switches support seems a big task, see the answer of Chris Packham about it: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-January/476910.html And also the switch of this family seems different of the one having support in the dsa subsystem: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-January/477063.html Thanks, Gregory > > Arnd

Hi Arnd This just supports the SoC part of the switch. As Gregory pointed out, this switch is a completely different beast to the Marvell SOHO switches DSA supports. Andrew
