So without STP, there is no way to stop an loop, and a broadcast storm
taking down your network?

Looking at the TX descriptor, there are two bits:

          [18]: force forward to port 0
          [19]: force forward to port 1

When the switch is enabled, can these two bits be used?

In the RX descriptor there is:

pkt_sp:
          000: from port0
          001: from port1
          110: soc0 loopback
          101: soc1 loopback

Are these bits used when the switch is enabled?

0.31 port control 1 (port cntl1) blocking state seems to have what you
need for STP.
