If a metadata dst is present with the type METADATA_HW_PORT_MUX on a dsa cpu

Is the plan to use the lwoer bits of the 32-bit port_id as the port
number for now, and we can use the remaining 24 or so bits for passing
classification (reason why we forward the packet, QoS etc. ) information
in the future?
Might be time for me to revive the systemport patches supporting
Broadcom tags in the the DMA descriptor.
Thanks!
