Hi,

This series adds very basic DSA support for the MaxLinear MxL86252
(5 PHY ports) and MxL86282 (8 PHY ports) switches. The intent is to
validate and get feedback on the overall approach and driver structure,
especially the firmware-mediated host interface.

MxL862xx integrates a firmware running on an embedded processor (Zephyr
RTOS). Host interaction uses a simple 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.

Thanks for taking a look.


Changes since initial RFC

1/4 dt-bindings: net: dsa: add bindings for MaxLinear MxL862xx
 * better description in dt-bindings doc

2/4 net: dsa: add tag formats for MxL862xx switches
 * make sure all tag fields are initialized

3/4 net: mdio: add unlocked mdiodev C45 bus accessors
 * new patch

4/4 net: dsa: add basic initial driver for MxL862xx switches
 * make use of struct mdio_device
 * add phylink_mac_ops stubs
 * drop leftover nonsense from mxl862xx_phylink_get_caps()
 * fix endian conversions
 * use __le32 instead of enum types in over-the-wire structs
 * use existing MDIO_* macros whenever possible
 * simplify API constants to be more readable
 * use readx_poll_timeout instead of open-coding poll timeout loop
 * add mxl862xx_reg_read() and mxl862xx_reg_write() helpers
 * demystify error codes returned by the firmware
 * add #defines for mxl862xx_ss_sp_tag member values
 * move reset to dedicated function, clarify magic number being the
   reset command ID
