In whichever way this goes, could we also see a selftest in future patch
revisions (similar to tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/ocelot/basic_qos.sh),
which (beyond the basic task of proving that it works) sets straight the
basic user expectations of _what_ works and can be done in terms of QoS
classification on these switches?
