You could eliminate a lot of boilerplate code that delegates ethtool/netdev operations from the network interface to the switch driver if you made this a DSA driver, without registering a tag protocol or by reworking that. Other than that, this is a really nice piece of driver you got here, it's definitively a clean design.
