+Microchip Ocelot switch driver family
+=====================================
+
+Felix
+-----
+
+The VSC9959 core is currently the only switch supported by the driver, and is
+found in the NXP LS1028A. It is a PCI device, part of the larger ENETC root
+complex. As a result, the ethernet-switch node is a sub-node of the PCIe root
+complex node and its "reg" property conforms to the parent node bindings:
+
+* reg: Specifies PCIe Device Number and Function Number of the endpoint device,
+ in this case for the Ethernet L2Switch it is PF5 (of device 0, bus 0).
+
+It does not require a "compatible" string.
+
+The interrupt line is used to signal availability of PTP TX timestamps and for
+TSN frame preemption.
+
+For the external switch ports, depending on board configuration, "phy-mode" and
+"phy-handle" are populated by board specific device tree instances. Ports 4 and
+5 are fixed as internal ports in the NXP LS1028A instantiation.
+
+The CPU port property ("ethernet") configures the feature called "NPI port" in
+the Ocelot hardware core. The CPU port in Ocelot is a set of queues, which are
+connected, in the Node Processor Interface (NPI) mode, to an Ethernet port.
+By default, in fsl-ls1028a.dtsi, the NPI port is assigned to the internal
+2.5Gbps port@4, but can be moved to the 1Gbps port@5, depending on the specific
+use case. Moving the NPI port to an external switch port is hardware possible,
+but there is no platform support for the Linux system on the LS1028A chip to
+operate as an entire slave DSA chip. NPI functionality (and therefore DSA
+tagging) is supported on a single port at a time.
+
+Any port can be disabled (and in fsl-ls1028a.dtsi, they are indeed all disabled
+by default, and should be enabled on a per-board basis). But if any external
+switch port is enabled at all, the ENETC PF2 (enetc_port2) should be enabled as
+well, regardless of whether it is configured as the DSA master or not. This is
+because the Felix PHYLINK implementation accesses the MAC PCS registers, which
+in hardware truly belong to the ENETC port #2 and not to Felix.
+
+Supported PHY interface types (appropriate SerDes protocol setting changes are
+needed in the RCW binary):
+
+* phy_mode = "internal": on ports 4 and 5
+* phy_mode = "sgmii": on ports 0, 1, 2, 3
+* phy_mode = "qsgmii": on ports 0, 1, 2, 3
+* phy_mode = "usxgmii": on ports 0, 1, 2, 3
+* phy_mode = "2500base-x": on ports 0, 1, 2, 3
+

+PCI, refer to the following documents:

+Example:

+
+ ports {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ /* External ports */
+ port@0 {
+ reg = <0>;
+ label = "swp0";

+
+ port@1 {
+ reg = <1>;
+ label = "swp1";

+
+ port@2 {
+ reg = <2>;
+ label = "swp2";

+
+ port@3 {
+ reg = <3>;
+ label = "swp3";
