Subject: [PATCH v7 net-next 0/4] net: dsa: initial support for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2026 03:44:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1768707226.git.daniel@makrotopia.org> (raw)
This series adds very basic DSA support for the MaxLinear MxL86252
(5 PHY ports) and MxL86282 (8 PHY ports) switches.
MxL862xx integrates a firmware running on an embedded processor (running
Zephyr RTOS). Host interaction uses a simple netlink-like API transported
over MDIO/MMD.
This series includes only what's needed to pass traffic between user
ports and the CPU port: relayed MDIO to internal PHYs, basic port
enable/disable, and CPU-port special tagging.
Follow up series will bring bridge, VLAN, ... offloading, and support
for using a 802.1Q-based special tag instead of the proprietary 8-byte
tag.
---
basic DSA selftests were run, results:
* no_forwarding.sh: all tests PASS
* bridge_vlan_unaware.sh: all tests PASS
* bridge_vlan_mcast.sh: all tests PASS
* bridge_vlan_aware.sh: all tests PASS
* local_termination.sh: all tests PASS or XFAIL, except for
TEST: VLAN over vlan_filtering=1 bridged port: Unicast IPv4 to unknown MAC address [FAIL]
reception succeeded, but should have failed
TEST: VLAN over vlan_filtering=1 bridged port: Unicast IPv4 to unknown MAC address, allmulti [FAIL]
reception succeeded, but should have failed
As obviously this is mostly testing the Linux software bridge at this point
I didn't bother to run any of the FDB or MDB related tests.
