[RFC PATCH net-next 00/11] net: dsa: microchip: lan937x: add switch cascade support

LAN937x switch series support cascade mode of operation, in which two
switch can be connected to work like a single switch having the
advantage of increased number of ports. Two switches can be connected
using SPI, and a dedicated port from each switch will be inter-connected
forming a data path between two switches, known as cascaded port.

This patch series add support for cascade mode of operation using SPI
protocol and configures cascaded ports from each switches based on the
requirement.

Patch series tested on LAN9373 Dual Board, which is a custom board
with two LAN9373 switches connected in cascaded mode, and PORT 4
used as cascaded port from each switch.
