I don't have access to the datasheet for this device. So i've no idea
how easy/hard it would be.

Documentation/networking/switchdev.txt and
Documentation/networking/dsa/dsa.txt would be a good place to start.

The mv88e6060.c is the simplest driver and gives you the minimum you
need to start with. Looking at the marketing brief, it looks like the
device can do more. But it is best to start simple, get the minimal
accepted, and then incrementally add more.
