A collection of interfaces.
switchdev and by extension DSA is all about using hardware as an
accelerator. Linux can do switching in software. It can do routing in
software, it can do bonding in softwa

Typically DSA is for discrete switches, but not exclusively. The
b53/SF2 is embedded in a number of Broadcom SoCs. So this is no
different to Ocelot, except ARM vs MIPS. Also, i would dis
