It works also on LAN9662, but I didn't have time to send patches for DTs. Then when I send patches for LAN9662, do I need to go in all dts files to change the compatible string for the 'switch' node? > > Michael Walle (4): > net: lan966x: hardcode the number of external ports > dt-bindings: net: lan966x: add specific compatible string > net: lan966x: add new compatible microchip,lan9668-switch > ARM: dts: lan966x: use new microchip,lan9668-switch compatible > > .../net/microchip,lan966x-switch.yaml | 5 +++- > arch/arm/boot/dts/lan966x.dtsi | 2 +- > .../ethernet/microchip/lan966x/lan966x_main.c | 24 +++++++++++++------ > 3 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) > > -- > 2.30.2 >

I'd assume there is one lan9662.dtsi and yes, there should then be compatible = "microchip,lan9662-switch"; or compatible = "microchip,lan9662-switch", "microchip,lan966x-switch"; depending on the outcome of the question Krzysztof raised. And of course adding the compatible string to the driver with a port count of 4 (?). I can't find anything about the lan9662, and you've mentioned it has 4 ports. Are there four external ports? I was under the impression the last digit of the SoC name stands for the number of ports. -michael

I can't find anything about the lan9662, I am not sure why they have not upload yet the datasheet for lan9662. >and you've > mentioned it has 4 ports. Are there four external ports? You can have up to 4 ports. You can have 4 external ports or you can use the internal ones plus two external. > I was under the impression the last digit of the SoC name stands for the > number of ports. That would make much more sense but I don't understand why they have name it like this. > > -michael
