Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 2/4] net: dsa: add tag format for MxL862xx switches
Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2026 02:23:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <28d28b8a990ec0595bac59174ca3a2e23ea2710a.1768615235.git.daniel@makrotopia.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1768615235.git.daniel@makrotopia.org>

Add proprietary special tag format for the MaxLinear MXL862xx family of
switches. While using the same Ethertype as MaxLinear's GSW1xx switches,
the actual tag format differs significantly, hence we need a dedicated
tag driver for that.

Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>
---
v6:
 * remove unnecessary check for skb != NULL
 * merge consecutively printed warnings into single dev_warn_ratelimited

v5:
 * remove unused macro definitions

RFC v4:
 * describe fields and variables with comments
 * sub-interface is only 5 bits
 * harmonize Kconfig symbol name
 * maintain alphabetic order in Kconfig
 * fix typo s/beginnig/beginning/
 * fix typo s/swtiches/switches/
 * arrange local variables in reverse xmas tree order

RFC v3: no changes
RFC v2: make sure all tag fields are initialized
