I'd love to test this on an Asus RT-AC88U which has got the 
smi-connected RTL8365MB switch but modifying the OpenWrt SDK to build 
for latest kernels is a really painful process. I know it's not related 
to this patch series but, does anyone know a more efficient way of 
building the kernel with rootfs with sufficent userspace tools? Like, am 
I supposed to use Buildroot, Yocto?
