MV88E6XXX_G1_ATU_OP_AGE_OUT_VIOLATION will also be handled, and it could 
be
that MV88E6XXX_G1_ATU_OP_FULL_VIOLATION would want handling, though I 
don't
know of plans for that.

The MV88E6XXX_G1_ATU_OP_MEMBER_VIOLATION interrupt can be suppressed if 
we
want.

I think a switch on the type is the most readable code form.


p.s. I have changed it, so that global1_atu.c reads:

         if (val & MV88E6XXX_G1_ATU_OP_MISS_VIOLATION) {
                 dev_err_ratelimited(chip->dev,
                                     "ATU miss violation for %pM portvec 
%x spid %d\n",
                                     entry.mac, entry.portvec, spid);
                 chip->ports[spid].atu_miss_violation++;

                 if (!fid) {
                         err = -EINVAL;
                         goto out;
                 }

                 if (chip->ports[spid].mab)
                         err = mv88e6xxx_handle_violation(chip, spid, 
&entry,
                                                          fid, 
MV88E6XXX_G1_ATU_OP_MISS_VIOLATION);
                 if (err)
                         goto out;
         }

with the use of out_unlock in the chip mutex locked case.
