Yes, exactly, let's keep the software implementation its own patch set,
together with its selftest.

I don't think that further splitting of mlxsw will be necessary, the
threshold is 15 patches, and the current 16-2 = 14.
IMO patches 3-4 should go with mlxsw being the first user.

The last 2 can also happen in parallel, if somebody else comes to it.
Looks great, thanks for doing this!
