Commenting on shashiko report:

- Is this call to airoha_set_vip_for_gdm_port() redundant?
Looking at airoha_dev_stop(), airoha_set_vip_for_gdm_port(dev, false) is
already called unconditionally earlier in the function. Since get_vip_port()
returns a device-specific bitmask based on dev->nbq, does the unconditional
call correctly clear the hardware bits for the specific device being stopped
without affecting other devices on the same shared port?
- I will fix it in v5.
- Does returning -EBUSY here improperly prevent valid software MTU configurations?
Instead of failing the ndo_change_mtu callback and preventing the software
netdev->mtu from updating, should this code unconditionally allow the software
update (netdev->mtu = mtu) and simply skip the hardware register
(REG_GDM_LEN_CFG) downgrade to safely preserve the larger hardware limit
required by active shared siblings?
- I will fix it in v5.
- Is the use of an atomic_t necessary for tracking users here?
The port->users reference count appears to only be modified in ndo_open and
ndo_stop, and read in ndo_change_mtu. Since all of these callback paths are
inherently strictly serialized by the kernel's rtnl_lock(), could a simple
integer be used instead to avoid unnecessary atomic overhead?
- I will fix it in v5.
