That is the major reason why I am reluctant to cache stuffs in drivers.
In most cases, we want the DSA drivers to be "stupid", as much stateless
as possible, simply implementing the supported DSA switch operations.
The DSA core then handles the generic logic of how switch fabrics should
behave, and thus all DSA drivers are consistent and benefit from this.
Thanks,
