156 int mv88e6xxx_set_addr_direct(struct dsa_switch *ds, u8 *addr)
157 {
158         REG_WRITE(REG_GLOBAL, 0x01, (addr[0] << 8) | addr[1]);
159         REG_WRITE(REG_GLOBAL, 0x02, (addr[2] << 8) | addr[3]);
160         REG_WRITE(REG_GLOBAL, 0x03, (addr[4] << 8) | addr[5]);
161 
162         return 0;
163 }

So maybe the meaning of these registers has changed between different
versions of the chips? Only 6131 uses mv88e6xxx_set_addr_direct, all
the others use indirect method. So maybe the 6131 is going to need
something different here in _mv88e6xxx_atu_cmd()?
