commenting on sashiko's report:
https://netdev-ai.bots.linux.dev/sashiko/#/patchset/20260721-airoha-ethtool-priv_flags-v9-0-9c15d8b71a56%40kernel.org

- When another GDM3/GDM4 device already holds the WAN role without an
  active QoS qdisc, the code above calls airoha_disable_qos_for_gdm34() on
  that wan_dev to demote it (clearing F_WAN, migrating dev->qdma to QDMA0,
  disabling GDM2 loopback, resetting its fwd cfg to PPE1) before promoting
  the requesting device.
  If airoha_enable_gdm2_loopback(dev) or airoha_set_macaddr(dev, ...)
  subsequently fails, the error paths only unwind the requesting dev:
  +error_disable_loopback:
  +	airoha_disable_gdm2_loopback(dev);
  +error_disable_wan:
  +	dev->flags &= ~AIROHA_DEV_F_WAN;
  +	airoha_dev_set_qdma(dev);
  +error_unlock:
  +	mutex_unlock(&flow_offload_mutex);
  +
  +	return err;
  None of those labels re-promote the previously demoted wan_dev. Is this
  consistent with the commit message's claim of "proper rollback on
  failure"?
  - This issue has been reported and discussed in previous iterations.
    If the promotion of the new device fails, the tc command returns an error to userspace,
    the requested configuration was not applied. The system is still processing
    packets and the user can log and reapply the configuration.
    Re-promoting the old WAN device on error would add complexity for failure cases that
    do not really occur in practice since airoha_set_macaddr() and
    airoha_enable_gdm2_loopback() fail only if the device is misconfigured.

- airoha_set_macaddr() failing with -EINVAL is reachable in practice
  because it validates the new WAN device's MAC MSBs against other WAN
  devices, and GDM2 is always WAN by design in airoha_dev_init(). If GDM2
  and the requesting GDM3/GDM4 device have different MAC MSBs, TC HTB
  CREATE returns -EINVAL, but wan_dev has already lost its WAN role, its
  qdma pointer has been reassigned to QDMA0, GDM2 loopback has been torn
  down, and its forwarding config has been reset to PPE1.
  - This issue can't occur since we can't have just a single net_device
    configured as WAN.

Lorenzo
