net: dsa: microchip: common spi probe for the ksz series switches - part 2
This patch series aims to refactor the ksz_switch_register routine to have the
common flow for the ksz series switch. And this is the follow up patch series.
First, it tries moves the common implementation in the setup from individual
files to ksz_setup. Then implements the common dsa_switch_ops structure instead
of independent registration. And then moves the ksz_dev_ops to ksz_common.c,
it allows the dynamic detection of which ksz_dev_ops to be used based on
the switch detection function.
Finally, the patch updates the ksz_spi probe function to be same for all the
ksz_switches.

As of now, there are two spi probes, one ksz8795_spi.c and other
ksz9477_spi.c. This patch combines two files into single ksz_spi.c. The
difference between the two are regmap config and struct ksz8. The regmap
config is assigned based on the platform data. And struct ksz8 is left
untouched, as it is used only ksz8795.c. It can be used for all
other switches also in future.

Currently, bond_opt_value are mostly used for bonding option settings. If
we want to set a value for slave, we need to re-alloc a string to store
both slave name and vlaue, like bond_option_queue_id_set() does, which
is complex and dumb.
As Jon suggested, let's add a union field slave_dev for bond_opt_value,
which will be benefit for future slave option setting. In function
__bond_opt_init(), we will always check the extra field and set it
if it's not NULL.

net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: get rid of SPEED_MAX
This series does two things:
1. it gets rid of mv88e6065_port_set_speed_duplex() which is completely
unused (do we support this device? I couldn't find it in the tables
in chip.c) This has a max speed of 200Mbps which we don't support.
2. get rid of the SPEED_MAX constant, which is used to configure a DSA
or CPU port to their maximum speed during initialisation. We no
longer need this as we can derive the maximum port speed from the
mac_capabilities instead.
The reason for making this change is in preparation for phylink to be
used by DSA for CPU ports. This omission has come back to bite us with
the conversion of DSA drivers to phylink_pcs, since phylink_pcs won't
get used unless phylink is being used. Particularly with this driver,
it is very common for DT descriptions to omit the fixed-link details
which means "use maximum speed".
It will eventually be necessary to hoist the selection of "max speed"
into the DSA layer (trivial) and also have a way for the DSA driver
to tell the DSA layer which interface it should be using for these
ports.

Currently, all the device specific speed setting functions convert
SPEED_MAX to the actual speed of the port. Rather than having each
of the mv88e6xxx chip specifics handling SPEED_MAX, derive it from
the mac_capabilities instead.
This is only needed for CPU and DSA ports, so move the logic up into
mv88e6xxx_setup_port() - which allows us to kill off all users of
SPEED_MAX throughout the driver.

When a packet enters the OVS datapath and does not match any existing
flows installed in the kernel flow cache, the packet will be sent to
userspace to be parsed, and a new flow will be created. The kernel and
OVS rely on each other to parse packet fields in the same way so that
packets will be handled properly.
As per the design document linked below, OVS expects all later IPv6
fragments to have nw_proto=44 in the flow key, so they can be correctly
matched on OpenFlow rules. OpenFlow controllers create pipelines based
on this design.
This behavior was changed by the commit in the Fixes tag so that
nw_proto equals the next_header field of the last extension header.
However, there is no counterpart for this change in OVS userspace,
meaning that this field is parsed differently between OVS and the
kernel. This is a problem because OVS creates actions based on what is
parsed in userspace, but the kernel-provided flow key is used as a match
criteria, as described in Documentation/networking/openvswitch.rst. This
leads to issues such as packets incorrectly matching on a flow and thus
the wrong list of actions being applied to the packet. Such changes in
packet parsing cannot be implemented without breaking the userspace.
The offending commit is partially reverted to restore the expected
behavior.
The change technically made sense and there is a good reason that it was
implemented, but it does not comply with the original design of OVS.
If in the future someone wants to implement such a change, then it must
be user-configurable and disabled by default to preserve backwards
compatibility with existing OVS versions.
