Step 1: add new driver and enable it on one platform. Do announcement. Step 2: switch all one-port and dual mac drivers to the new driver Step 3: switch all other platform to cpsw switchdev and deprecate old driver.

So for the dts changes, we keep the old binding and just add a new module there? Or do you also have to disable some parts of the old dts? Regards, Tony

As you can see Patch 11 I've rearranged cpsw nodes between boards so cpsw_new is enabled only on one board. But, Am5/dr7 board are good candidates to enable cpsw_new in batch as the have only dual_mac default cfg. > > Or do you also have to disable some parts of the old dts? it will be the case for am3/am5 most probably.
