In preparation of supporting data plane forwarding on behalf of a software bridge, some drivers might need to view bridges as virtual switches behind the CPU port in a cross-chip topology. Give them some help and let them know how many physical switches there are in the tree, so that they can count the virtual switches starting from that number on. Note that the first dsa_switch_ops method where this information is reliably available is .setup(). This is because of how DSA works: in a tree with 3 switches, each calling dsa_register_switch(), the first 2 will advance until dsa_tree_setup() -> dsa_tree_setup_routing_table() and exit with error code 0 because the topology is not complete. Since probing is parallel at this point, one switch does not know about the existence of the other. Then the third switch comes, and for it, dsa_tree_setup_routing_table() returns complete = true. This switch goes ahead and calls dsa_tree_setup_switches() for everybody else, calling their .setup() methods too. This acts as the synchronization point.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
