Subject: [PATCH v0 00/10] Convert Netgear WNR854T to devicetree

This is an attempt to resurrect the mainline WNR854T support (I had no
luck getting a non-DT kernel to boot). First 2 patches are trivial,
the next 3 add DT bindings for the SoC, then the old board file is
swapped out for DT. The final 3 patches configure the PHY leds as
Netgear intended.

There's one major flaw; unicast traffic is never received on any port.
Broadcast traffic is received however, and on the correct port. Thus
an external machine can make an ARP request and get a response, for
example. With a manually-entered ARP entry, the router can send pings
out to a remote machine which responds, and the response is lost in the
DSA switch. "ethtool -S" reports pings received on "in_unicast" but
nothing makes it through the switch. This thread[0] seems very similar.
I've run out of ideas here and can't find any switch datasheets to give
me pointers so any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I've not tried to move the PCI support into DT yet. Are there other
branches that tackle this already?

Patch 8 is the least-intrusive patch I could think of to find the PHY
node, but I'm not sure it's the best approach. I tried to get
dsa_slave_phy_connect() to wire up the OF node correctly[1], but doing
this properly would require changes to the mdiobus api, any exposed
methods register all nodes in an MDIO bus node, which doesn't exist in
this case.

Applied against v4.6 mainline, .config:

Log output:

The patchset is also available here:

To use the supplied PCI Wifi card see the following patch:
https://github.com/lentinj/linux/commit/d6b7b4695b7dcbf36d0663aea9cb4ecd65a1ada8
...but this is probably a matter for another thread.

Cheers,
