> net: airoha: Support multiple net_devices for a single FE GDM port
> 
> This commit introduces support for multiple net_devices connected to the
> same Frame Engine (FE) GDM port (GDM3 or GDM4) via an external hardware
> arbiter on EN7581 or AN7583 SoCs, and adds a get_dev_from_sport callback
> to differentiate between the net_devices attached to each port.

ack, I will fix it in v5.

ack, I will fix it in v5.

We have already a separated patch to address this issue that is not part of the
series. I will add it to the v5 in the next iteration.
