net: dsa: sja1105: configure the cascade ports based on topology
The sja1105 switch family has a feature called "cascade ports" which can be used in topologies where multiple SJA1105/SJA1110 switches are daisy chained. Upstream switches set this bit for the DSA link towards the downstream switches. This is used when the upstream switch receives a control packet (PTP, STP) from a downstream switch, because if the source port for a control packet is marked as a cascade port, then the source port, switch ID and RX timestamp will not be taken again on the upstream switch, it is assumed that this has already been done by the downstream switch (the leaf port in the tree) and that the CPU has everything it needs to decode the information from this packet. We need to distinguish between an upstream-facing DSA link and a downstream-facing DSA link, because the upstream-facing DSA links are "host ports" for the SJA1105/SJA1110 switches, and the downstream-facing DSA links are "cascade ports". Note that SJA1105 supports a single cascade port, so only daisy chain topologies work. With SJA1110, there can be more complex topologies such as: eth0 | host port | sw0p0 sw0p1 sw0p2 sw0p3 sw0p4 | | | | cascade cascade user user port port port port | | | | | | | host | port | | | sw1p0 sw1p1 sw1p2 sw1p3 sw1p4 | | | | | | user user user user host port port port port port | sw2p0 sw2p1 sw2p2 sw2p3 sw2p4 | | | | user user user user port port port port Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
