Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 03/12] Documentation: networking: dsa: remove static port count from limitations
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2021 13:24:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210316112419.1304230-4-olteanv@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210316112419.1304230-1-olteanv@gmail.com>
From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com>
After Vivien's series from 2019 containing commits 27d4d19d7c82 ("net:
dsa: remove limitation of switch index value") and ab8ccae122a4 ("net:
dsa: add ports list in the switch fabric"), this is basically no longer
true.
