Hi Iwan

This looks good as far as it goes.

Have you tried adding/deleting multiple port mirrors? Do we need to
limit how many are added. A quick look at the datasheet, you can
define one egress mirror port and one ingress mirror port. I think you
can have multiple ports mirroring ingress to that one ingress mirror
port. And you can have multiple port mirroring egress to the one
egress mirror port. We should add code to check this, and return
-EBUSY if the existing configuration prevents a new mirror being
configured.

Thanks
