Hello Francois,

First of all, thanks a lot for such a detailed review!

Right, I'll do as Joe suggests and use swap() to have just one loop.

No, that sounds just fine. I'll fix it.

Hm... we've used the same idiom in the mvneta driver so I'd rather keep it
just to have some consistency between the mvneta and the mvpp2 drivers.

Refactoring those two sounds a good cleanup.

Right, these netif_running() checks are redundant: the driver already stops
the queues when it goes down, so it seems safe to drop them.

Right, we will rework this.

Yes, good catch.

Hm, yes, I see what you mean. These names bother me too, and I think we could
probably change it so "pp2" is "dev", and "pp" is "port". But on the other
side, I'm not sure it's worth doing such an intrusive change just to fix these
names.

What do you think?

Done.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
