Subject: Marvell switch port shows LOWERLAYERDOWN, ping fails

After configuring a DSA tree for two Marvell 88E6176 chips, attempts to
ping a host connected to the first user port fail. Running "ip link" shows
the user port state as LOWERLAYERDOWN, and no packets make it out the port.

It's not clear why the state is LOWERLAYERDOWN. The port has a connected
network device, and the port LED is on.

I'd welcome any ideas on how to figure out why the port is not working.

The Marvell chips are configured for multi-chip mode, and are connected
to a single MDIO bus:

* chip at PHY address 0x1E is connected to eth0 of the host processor,
   an Altera Cyclone V
* chip at PHY address 0x1A is connected over SERDES to the other chip,
   using port 4

Here's a console capture showing the port set-up and the failed ping:
