Hi Chris

Nice to hear you want to upstream it. There are some interesting
chips, even in consumer level devices like the TPE-1620WS, which i
would love to play with. But the Switching part of Marvell don't seem
interested in the community, unlike the processors part of Marvell
which is engaging with the community.
