[PATCH v7 net-next 08/10] dt-bindings: net: add generic ethernet-switch

Colin Foster colin.foster at in-advantage.com
Thu Jan 12 09:56:11 PST 2023


The dsa.yaml bindings had references that can apply to non-dsa switches. To
prevent duplication of this information, keep the dsa-specific information
inside dsa.yaml and move the remaining generic information to the newly
created ethernet-switch.yaml.

v5 -> v7
  * No change

v4 -> v5
  * Add Rob Reviewed tag
  * Remove "^(ethernet-)?switch(@.*)?$" from dsa.yaml in this patch, instead
    of dt-bindings: net: dsa: allow additional ethernet-port properties
  * Change Vivien to Vladimir to sync with MAINTAINERS
  * Remove quotes around ref: /schemas/net/ethernet-switch.yaml#

v3 -> v4
  * Update ethernet-ports and ethernet-port nodes to match what the new
    dsa.yaml has. Namely:
      "unevaluatedProperties: false" instead of "additionalProperties: true"
      "additionalProperties: true" instead of "unevaluatedProperties: true"
    for ethernet-ports and ethernet-port, respectively.
  * Add Florian Reviewed tag

v2 -> v3
  * Change ethernet-switch.yaml title from "Ethernet Switch Device
    Tree Bindings" to "Generic Ethernet Switch"
  * Rework ethernet-switch.yaml description
  * Add base defs structure for switches that don't have any additional
    properties.
  * Add "additionalProperties: true" under "^(ethernet-)?ports$" node
  * Correct port reference from /schemas/net/dsa/dsa-port.yaml# to
    ethernet-controller.yaml#

v1 -> v2
  * No net change, but deletions from dsa.yaml included the changes for
    "addionalProperties: true" under ports and "unevaluatedProperties:
    true" under port.

+description:
+  Ethernet switches are multi-port Ethernet controllers. Each port has
+  its own number and is represented as its own Ethernet controller.
+  The minimum required functionality is to pass packets to software.
+  They may or may not be able to forward packets automonously between
+  ports.
