[PATCH RFC net-next 0/3] Multi-CPU DSA support

[Ansuel Smith]

Hi,
this is a respin of the Marek series in hope that this time we can
finally make some progress with dsa supporting multi-cpu port.

This implementation is similar to the Marek series but with some tweaks.
This adds support for multiple-cpu port but leave the driver the
decision of the type of logic to use about assigning a CPU port to the
various port. The driver can also provide no preference and the CPU port
is decided using a round-robin way.

(copying the Marek cover letter)
Patch 2 adds a new operation to the net device operations structure.
Currently we use the iflink property of a net device to report to which
CPU port a given switch port si connected to. The ip link utility from
iproute2 reports this as "lan1@eth0". We add a new net device operation,
ndo_set_iflink, which can be used to set this property. We call this
function from the netlink handlers.

Patch 3 implements this new ndo_set_iflink operation for DSA slave
device. Thus the userspace can request a change of CPU port of a given
port. The mac address is changed accordingly following the CPU port mac
address.

There are at least 2 driver that would benefit from this and currently
now works using half their capabilities. (qca8k and mv88e6xxx)
This current series is tested with qca8k.

  net: dsa: allow for multiple CPU ports

Marek Behún (2):
  net: add ndo for setting the iflink property
  net: dsa: implement ndo_set_netlink for chaning port's CPU port
