While I do agree that the DT bindings are a big no-no for QoS
settings, the topic is interesting.
What is the user space knob for configuring port-default priority (say
RX queue)?
Something like this maybe? (a very forced "matchall" with rxnfc)
ethtool --config-nfc eth0 flow-type ether src 00:00:00:00:00:00 m
00:00:00:00:00:00 action 5
