Hi all,

This patchset adds support for Broadcom's Starfighter 2 switch which is used in
a wide number of recent ARM-based SoCs from different groups within Broadcom.

This switch is usually integrated in that sort of hardware setup:

Integrated GPHY <=> Port 0
External RGMII/MII devices <=> Ports 1 to 6
MoCA PHY <=> Port 7
CPU <=> Port 8

An internal MDIO bus is used to configure the integrated GPHY as well as
external (RG)MII entities which are connected to the switch, hence the UniMAC
MDIO driver

I am sending this as a RFC although most of the dsa changes should not be too
controversial as they basically just leverage Device Tree to help us fetch
platform-specific informations.

The switch driver is fairly simple, but if accepted, future features will be
added (classification engine, Wake-on-LAN support, power management ...)

This switch is used with the recently submitted SYSTEMPORT Ethernet MAC driver
which supports hardare insertion/extraction of switch tags, hence avoiding the
memmove() on the packet contents in both directions, I will send RFC patches
for this as well in case other NICs out there also support a similar feature.

Thanks!
