Ok. Sent new version here:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1251902/
When you merge net into net-next you can use this patch as reference
for the conflict resolution, since it is going to conflict with
69df578c5f4b ("net: mscc: ocelot: eliminate confusion between CPU and
NPI port") - both rename some variables.

Thanks,
