Re: [PATCH v2] rtl83xx-poe: add package
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openwrt/patch/20210313165419.10713-1-bj...@mork.no/#2666485
I strongly believe we need a more generic solution. A tiny framework
with generic PoE imlementation and then rtl83xx support on top of that.
agreed, but for now this makes PoE work for the community. the next
step will be to move this into kernel space using the appropriate
subsystems, however that will take time and effort.
the aim of the patch is to get support functional out of the box for
the community and then address the real solution afterwards.

that being said, I have a edgerouter-x(-sfp) on my desk. I already
started a PoC patch to support a more generic approach for PoE that is
agnostic of wheter the HW support is driven via GPIO or a ttyS attached
MCU. but as I said, takes time and effort. for now, the RTL crowd will
have PoE and 1-2 months down the line we will have a more generic
approach... any other PoE capable HW around that we need to consider in
the design phase ?
