It would have been good to have support for subtractive device tree overlays, such that when there are multiple CPU ports in the device tree, the stable device tree has both CPU ports marked with the "ethernet" phandle, but the user has the option of deleting that property from one of the CPU ports, turning it into a user port. Currently for LS1028A I am doing this device tree post-processing from the U-Boot command line: => tftp $fdt_addr_r ls1028/fsl-ls1028a-rdb.dtb => fdt addr $fdt_addr_r => fdt rm /soc/pcie@...000000/ethernet-switch@0,5/ports/port@4 ethernet but it has the disadvantage that you can only operate with the configuration that you booted with. I analyzed the possibility for DSA to dynamically switch a port between operating as a CPU port or a user port, but it is simply insanely complicated.
