Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 0/4] net: dsa: initial support for MaxLinear
 MxL862xx switches

This series adds very basic DSA support for the MaxLinear MxL86252
(5 PHY ports) and MxL86282 (8 PHY ports) switches.

MxL862xx integrates a firmware running on an embedded processor (Zephyr
RTOS). Host interaction uses a simple API transported over MDIO/MMD.
This series includes only what's needed to pass traffic between user
ports and the CPU port: relayed MDIO to internal PHYs, basic port
enable/disable, and CPU-port special tagging.

At this point the driver does NOT configure any bridges and bridge
ports, so isolation of the userports depends on the pre-configuration
stored on the flash chip attached to the switch IC.

This is going to be addressed in follow-up series adding support for
configuring bridges and bridge-ports, and also use the added API for
that to make sure the switch is always in a well-defined condition (ie.
all ports isolated in individual bridges, learning disabled, and not
depending on attached pre-configuration) after reset.
