But you also need to watch out for somebody putting a copper modules
in an SFP port. phylink will then set the mode to SGMII for a 1G
copper module, etc.

I guess what you are trying to indicate is between a hard wired Copper
PHY and an SFP cage? You have some sort of MII switch which allows the
MAC to be connected to either the QSGMII PHY, or an SFP cage? But
since the SFP cage could be populated with a copper PHY, and PHYLINK
will then instantiate a phylib copper PHY driver for it, looking at
phy_mode is not reliable. You need a property which selects the port,
not the technology.

Ah, O.K. But watch out for a copper SFP module!

But why should that happen? It suggests you have the order wrong. The
lower level should only be enabled once the port is opened.

FDMA?
I need a bit more background here, just to make use this should be a
pure switchdev driver and not a DSA driver.

So throwing out an idea, which might be terrible. How about limiting
it to 64 loops, the same as the NAPI poll? That might allow the
machine to get some work done before the next interrupt? Does the
hardware do interrupt coalescing? But is this is going to be quickly
thrown away and replaced with FDMA, don't spend too much time on it.
