      ====================
      net: dsa: Support for pdata in dsa2
      
      This is not exactly new, and was sent before, although back then, I did not
      have an user of the pre-declared MDIO board information, but now we do. Note
      that I have additional changes queued up to have b53 register platform data for
      MIPS bcm47xx and bcm63xx.
      
      Yes I know that we should have the Orion platforms eventually be converted to
      Device Tree, but until that happens, I don't want any remaining users of the
      old "dsa" platform device (hence the previous DTS submissions for ARM/mvebu)
      and, there will be platforms out there that most likely won't never see DT
      coming their way (BCM47xx is almost 100% sure, BCM63xx maybe not in a distant
      future).
      
      We would probably want the whole series to be merged via David Miller's tree
      to simplify things.
      
      Thanks!
      
      Changes in v5:
      
      - dropped changes to drivers/base/ because after more than a month, we cannot
        get any answer from Greg KH
      
      Changes in v4:
      
      - Changed device_find_class() to device_find_in_class_name()
      - Added kerneldoc above device_find_in_class_name() to explain what it does
        and the calling convention regarding device reference counts
      - Changed dev_to_net_device to device_to_net_device() added comments
        about what it does and the caller conventions regarding reference counts
      
      Changes in v3:
      
      - Tested EPROBE_DEFER from a mockup MDIO/DSA switch driver and everything
        is fine, once the driver finally probes we have access to platform data
        as expected
      
      - added comment above dsa_port_is_valid() that port->name is mandatory
        for platform data cases
      
      - added an extra check in dsa_parse_member() for a NULL pdata pointer
      
      - fixed a bunch of checkpatch errors and warnings
      
      Changes in v2:
      
      - Rebased against latest net-next/master
      
      - Moved dev_find_class() to device_find_class() into drivers/base/core.c
      
      - Moved dev_to_net_device into net/core/dev.c
      
      - Utilize dsa_chip_data directly instead of dsa_platform_data
      
      - Augmented dsa_chip_data to be multi-CPU port ready
      
      Changes from last submission (few months back):
      
      - rebased against latest net-next
      
      - do not introduce dsa2_platform_data which was overkill and was meant to
        allow us to do exaclty the same things with platform data and Device Tree
        we use the existing dsa_platform_data instead
      
      - properly register MDIO devices when the MDIO bus is registered and associate
        platform_data with them
      
      - add a change to the Orion platform code to demonstrate how this can be used
      
      Thank you

      ARM: orion: Register DSA switch as a MDIO device · 575e93f7
      Florian Fainelli authored
      
      
      Utilize the ability to pass board specific MDIO bus information towards a
      particular MDIO device thus allowing us to provide the per-port switch layout
      to the Marvell 88E6XXX switch driver.
      
      Since we would end-up with conflicting registration paths, do not register the
      "dsa" platform device anymore.
      
      Note that the MDIO devices registered by code in net/dsa/dsa2.c does not
      parse a dsa_platform_data, but directly take a dsa_chip_data (specific
      to a single switch chip), so we update the different call sites to pass
      this structure down to orion_ge00_switch_init().

      net: phy: Allow pre-declaration of MDIO devices · 648ea013
      Florian Fainelli authored
      
      
      Allow board support code to collect pre-declarations for MDIO devices by
      registering them with mdiobus_register_board_info(). SPI and I2C buses
      have a similar feature, we were missing this for MDIO devices, but this
      is particularly useful for e.g: MDIO-connected switches which need to
      provide their port layout (often board-specific) to a MDIO Ethernet
      switch driver.

      net: dsa: Add support for platform data · 71e0bbde
      Florian Fainelli authored
      
      
      Allow drivers to use the new DSA API with platform data. Most of the
      code in net/dsa/dsa2.c does not rely so much on device_nodes and can get
      the same information from platform_data instead.
      
      We purposely do not support distributed configurations with platform
      data, so drivers should be providing a pointer to a 'struct
      dsa_chip_data' structure if they wish to communicate per-port layout.
      
      Multiple CPUs port could potentially be supported and dsa_chip_data is
      extended to receive up to one reference to an upstream network device
      per port described by a dsa_chip_data structure.
      
      dsa_dev_to_net_device() increments the network device's reference count,
      so we intentionally call dev_put() to be consistent with the DT-enabled
      path, until we have a generic notifier based solution.
