Subject: [PATCH net-next v1 0/3] net: dsa: Add RMU support

The Marvell SOHO switches have the ability to receive and transmit
Remote Management Frames (Frame2Reg) to the CPU through the
attached network interface.
This is handled by the Remote Management Unit (RMU).
These frames can contain different payloads:
single switch register read and writes, daisy chained switch
register read and writes, RMON/MIB dump/dump clear and ATU dump.
The dump functions are very costly over MDIO but it's
only a couple of network packets via the RMU.

Next step could be to implement ATU dump.
We've found that the gain to use RMU for single
register read and writes is neglible.

RFC -> v1:
  - Track master interface availability.
  - Validate destination MAC for incoming frames.
  - Rate limit outputs.
  - Cleanup setup function validating upstream port on switch.
  - Fix return values when setting up RMU.
  - Prefix defines correctly.
  - Fix aligned accesses.
  - Validate that switch exists for incoming frames.
  - Split RMON stats function.

Mattias Forsblad
