From cf1166349c68816f4259d32559f54972b0d5c1a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Lunn Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2020 18:12:51 +0200 Subject: net: devlink: Add unused port flavour Not all ports of a switch need to be used, particularly in embedded systems. Add a port flavour for ports which physically exist in the switch, but are not connected to the front panel etc, and so are unused. By having unused ports present in devlink, it gives a more accurate representation of the hardware. It also allows regions to be associated to such ports, so allowing, for example, to determine unused ports are correctly powered off, or to compare probable reset defaults of unused ports to used ports experiences issues. Actually registering unused ports and setting the flavour to unused is optional. The DSA core will register all such switch ports, but such ports are expected to be limited in number. Bigger ASICs may decide not to list unused ports. v2: Expand the description about why it is useful Reviewed-by: Vladimir Oltean Tested-by: Vladimir Oltean Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S.
