    net: dsa: felix: break at first CPU port during init and teardown · 8d5f7954
    Vladimir Oltean authored
    The NXP LS1028A switch has two Ethernet ports towards the CPU, but only
    one of them is capable of acting as an NPI port at a time (inject and
    extract packets using DSA tags).
    
    However, using the alternative ocelot-8021q tagging protocol, it should
    be possible to use both CPU ports symmetrically, but for that we need to
    mark both ports in the device tree as DSA masters.
    
    In the process of doing that, it can be seen that traffic to/from the
    network stack gets broken, and this is because the Felix driver iterates
    through all DSA CPU ports and configures them as NPI ports. But since
    there can only be a single NPI port, we effectively end up in a
    situation where DSA thinks the default CPU port is the first one, but
    the hardware port configured to be an NPI is the last one.
    
    I would like to treat this as a bug, because if the updated device trees
    are going to start circulating, it would be really good for existing
    kernels to support them, too.
