Hmm, I'm not sure I understand correctly what the marvel hw is capable of.
Would you care to explain it a bit ? (or maybe I should read the
datasheet)
If we want to offload bond functionality (tx, rx), we need to be careful
about the features, mainly mode/runner tx function which should not be
different in hw to what we have in kernel. That might be pretty hard for
example in case of loadbalance team mode, where bpf is used to get tx
port.
Also, switchdev ndos and notifier propagation needs to be implemented in
team/bond.
But maybe I'm getting your usecase wrong. Please help me to understand
it.
Thanks.
