Hi Andrew, thanks for the review,

Yes, I can do that (or maybe -EINVAL to match Vladimir's comment ?). I think
it's worth mentioning that I encountered an issue regarding those values during
tests: I use tc program to set the tbf, and I observed that tc does not even
reach kernel to set the qdisc if we pass no burst/latency value OR if we set it
to 0. So tc enforces right on userspace side non-zero value for those
parameters, and I have passed random values and ignored them on kernel side.
Checking available doc about tc-tbf makes me feel like that indeed a TBF qdisc
command without burst or latency value makes no sense, except my use case can
not have such values. That's what I struggled a bit to find a proper qdisc to
match hardware cap. I may fallback to a custom netlink program to improve testing.

I have no idea about EGRESS_RATE_CTL1 and EGRESSE_RATE_CTL2 registers layout or
features for other switches supported in mv88e6xxx, and it is likely risky to
assume it is identical, so indeed I will rename those defines to make them
specific to 6393 (+ nasty typo in
MV88E6XXXw_PORT_EGRESS_RATE_CTL1_FRAME_OVERHEAD_SHIFT)

Thanks,
Alexis
