From 007f790c8276271de26416f90d55561bcc96588a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Pirko Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2014 14:34:17 +0100 Subject: net: introduce generic switch devices support The goal of this is to provide a possibility to support various switch chips. Drivers should implement relevant ndos to do so. Now there is only one ndo defined: - for getting physical switch id is in place. Note that user can use random port netdevice to access the switch.
