[PATCH net-next 4/6] net: dsa: tag_rtl8_4: add realtek 8 byte protocol 4 tag

From: Alvin Šipraga
Date: Tue Oct 12 2021 - 08:37:56 EST


From: Alvin Šipraga <alsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This commit implements a basic version of the 8 byte tag protocol used
in the Realtek RTL8365MB-VC unmanaged switch, which carries with it a
protocol version of 0x04.

The implementation itself only handles the parsing of the EtherType
value and Realtek protocol version, together with the source or
destination port fields. The rest is left unimplemented for now.

The tag format is described in a confidential document provided to my
company by Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Permission has been granted by
the vendor to publish this driver based on that material, together with
an extract from the document describing the tag format and its fields.
It is hoped that this will help future implementors who do not have
access to the material but who wish to extend the functionality of
drivers for chips which use this protocol.

In addition, two possible values of the REASON field are specified,
based on experiments on my end. Realtek does not specify what value this
field can take.

RFC -> v1:
- minor changes to the big comment at the top, including some
empirical information about the REASON code
- use dev_*_ratelimited() instead of netdev_*() for logging
- use warning instead of debug messages
- use ETH_P_REALTEK from if_ether.h
- set LEARN_DIS on xmit
- remove superfluous variables/expressions and use __b16 for tag
variable
- use new helper functions to insert/remove CPU tag
- set offload_fwd_mark properly using helper function
