I am trying to wrap my head around these two "devices" and have a hard time=
 telling them apart.
We are looking att adding a faily large switch(over PCIe) to our board and =
from what I can tell
switchdev is the new way to do it but DSA is still there. Is it possible to=
 just list
how they differ?

What can switchdev do that DSA cannot?

What can DSA do that switchdev cannot?


Can one enable switchdev and dsa for the same switch device?
