[Patch v2 RfT] ARM: Kirkwood: Fix DT based DSA.

Hi all,

I've tested v2 of the patch and it worked fine.

Though, I had a couple of comments:

1) I have concerns regarding naming of the boards.
Since distros use those names to identify boards, we should use shorter and consistent naming.
I suggest we use "Marvell RD-88F6281 Reference Board" for A0+ boards, as it was before DT.
As for Z0 board we can use "Marvell RD-88F6281-Z0 Reference Board".
Note, this conflicts a little with physical marking of the boards (Z0 marked as "RD-88F6281" and later versions marked as "RD-88F6281-A"),
 but this way we will maintain previous naming.
Another solution would be to use same name (pre-DT one) for both boards, which is best option from distros perspective.

2) There is a problem with network throughput on those devices (maybe other too).
With 3.17rc2 I am not able to get more then ~50Mbps while same board with in same setup running v3.2 or v3.10 easily pass 650Mbps mark.
Above is correct for both DSA connected and PHY connected ports.
We must make sure above is not a side effect of conversion to DT.

Since author (Andrew Lunn) is on vacation, maybe it's better to wait for his response before any action.

Regards

Has anyone had a chance to test these changes?  If so, can we get some Tested-by's?

thx,
