[RFC PATCH net-next 00/22] net: dsa: MT7530, MT7531, and MT7988 improvements

[arinc9 . unal]

Hello!

This patch series is focused on simplifying the code, and improving the
logic of the support for MT7530, MT7531, and MT7988 SoC switches.

There's also a fix for the switch on the MT7988 SoC.

Daniel, can you test this series on the MT7531 and MT7988 SoC switch?

The only missing piece to properly support multiple ports as CPU ports is
the fixes [0] [1] [2] from Richard.

I've got questions regarding patch 13 and 19.

For patch 19:

Daniel, does the switch on the MT7988 SoC require the register to fire
interrupts properly? The code uses an inclusive check which was untouched
when the MT7988 SoC switch support was added.

For patch 13:

Do I need to protect the register from being accessed by processes while
this operation is being done? I don't see this on mt7530_setup() but it's
being done on mt7530_setup_port5().

I have very thoroughly tested the patch series with every possible
configuration on the MCM and standalone MT7530 switch. I'll let the name of
the dtb files speak for themselves.
