I did not see code that changes behavior based on sw_backup. Will this not give the same result? Also, this lacks the role test (add or del).

It recurs a few times. Perhaps it can use a helper.

I did not see code that changes behavior > based on sw_backup. Will this not give the same result? No, because is the driver responsibility to check that flag and implement what it can support. If the sw_backup is false, then it is expected the driver to implement completely the functionality in HW. If sw_backup is true it just needs to help the SW to run. So the driver can check this flag and decide what to do. > > Also, this lacks the role test (add or del).

This patch extends the br_mrp_switchdev functions to be able to have a better understanding what cause the issue and if the SW needs to be used as a backup. There are the following cases: - when the code is compiled without CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV. In this case return success so the SW can continue with the protocol. Depending on the function it returns 0 or BR_MRP_SW. - when code is compiled with CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV and the driver doesn't implement any MRP callbacks, then the HW can't run MRP so it just returns -EOPNOTSUPP. So the SW will stop further to configure the node. - when code is compiled with CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV and the driver fully supports any MRP functionality then the SW doesn't need to do anything. The functions will return 0 or BR_MRP_HW. - when code is compiled with CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV and the HW can't run completely the protocol but it can help the SW to run it. For example, the HW can't support completely MRM role(can't detect when it stops receiving MRP Test frames) but it can redirect these frames to CPU. In this case it is possible to have a SW fallback. The SW will try initially to call the driver with sw_backup set to false, meaning that the HW can implement completely the role. If the driver returns -EOPNOTSUPP, the SW will try again with sw_backup set to false, meaning that the SW will detect when it stops receiving the frames. In case the driver returns 0 then the SW will continue to configure the node accordingly. In this way is more clear when the SW needs to stop configuring the node, or when the SW is used as a backup or the HW can implement the functionality.
