I don't disagree with the patch, but I dislike the name chosen.
How about NET_DSA_OCELOT_LIB and mscc_ocelot_dsa_lib.o? The "core" of
the hardware support is arguably mscc_ocelot_switch_lib.o, I don't think
it would be good to use that word here, since the code you're moving is
no more than a thin glue layer with some DSA specific code.
Adding Colin for a second opinion on the naming. I'm sure things could
have been done better in the first place, just not sure how.
Also, could you please make the commit prefix "net: dsa: ocelot" when
you resend this and the other networking patches to the "net" tree?

Please keep PCS_LYNX selected by MSCC_FELIX and MSCC_SEVILLE respectively.

What do we gain practically with the symbol namespacing?
