	---help---
	  This module provides glue between core networking code and device
	  drivers in order to support hardware switch chips in very generic
	  meaning of the word "switch". This include devices supporting L2/L3 but
	  also various flow offloading chips, including switches embedded into
	  SR-IOV NICs.
net: introduce generic switch devices support The goal of this is to provide a possibility to support various switch chips. Drivers should implement relevant ndos to do so. Now there is only one ndo defined: - for getting physical switch id is in place. Note that user can use random port netdevice to access the switch.

kconfig: use bool instead of boolean for type definition attributes Support for keyword 'boolean' will be dropped later on. No functional change.
