Some warnings may be from an existing SoC .dtsi. Or perhaps the warnings are fixed by another series. Ultimately, it is up to the platform maintainer whether these warnings are acceptable or not. No need to reply unless the platform maintainer has comments. If you already ran DT checks and didn't see these error(s), then make sure dt-schema is up to date: pip3 install dtschema --upgrade New warnings running 'make CHECK_DTBS=y for arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/' for 20250325115736.1732721-1-lukma@denx.de: arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/mxs/imx28-xea.dtb: /ahb@80080000/switch@800f0000: failed to match any schema with compatible: ['fsl,imx287-mtip-switch'] arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/imx/imx6q-tx6q-1110.dtb: /lvds1-panel: failed to match any schema with compatible: ['nlt,nl12880bc20-spwg-24']
This patch series adds support for More Than IP's L2 switch driver embedded in some NXP's SoCs. This one has been tested on imx287, but is also available in the vf610. In the past there has been performed some attempts to upstream this driver: 1. The 4.19-cip based one [1] 2. DSA based one for 5.12 [2] - i.e. the switch itself was treat as a DSA switch with NO tag appended. 3. The extension for FEC driver for 5.12 [3] - the trick here was to fully reuse FEC when the in-HW switching is disabled. When bridge offloading is enabled, the driver uses already configured MAC and PHY to also configure PHY. All three approaches were not accepted as eligible for upstreaming. The driver from this series has floowing features: 1. It is fully separated from fec_main - i.e. can be used interchangeable with it. To be more specific - one can build them as modules and if required switch between them when e.g. bridge offloading is required. To be more specific: - Use FEC_MAIN: When one needs support for two ETH ports with separate uDMAs used for both and bridging can be realized in SW. - Use MTIPL2SW: When it is enough to support two ports with only uDMA0 attached to switch and bridging shall be offloaded to HW. 2. This driver uses MTIP's L2 switch internal VLAN feature to provide port separation at boot time. Port separation is disabled when bridging is required. 3. Example usage: Configuration: ip link set lan0 up; sleep 1; ip link set lan1 up; sleep 1; ip link add name br0 type bridge; ip link set br0 up; sleep 1; ip link set lan0 master br0; ip link set lan1 master br0; bridge link; ip addr add 192.168.2.17/24 dev br0; ping -c 5 192.168.2.222 Removal: ip link set br0 down; ip link delete br0 type bridge; ip link set dev lan1 down ip link set dev lan0 down 4. Limitations: - Driver enables and disables switch operation with learning and ageing. - Missing is the advanced configuration (e.g. adding entries to FBD). This is on purpose, as up till now we didn't had consensus about how the driver shall be added to Linux.
