Hi Tobias

There are three of us now working on this. Linus, you and me. We all
have different implementations.

What i don't like about this is that is has code which is going to be
repeated in all DSA drivers, and even in all MAC drivers. I've already
posted one patch series which added generic DSA support for LEDs, and
some basic mv88e6xxx code. It got NACKed by Vladimir. So i'm slowly
working on making it more generic, so it can be used by any MAC
driver.

I will try to post it in the next couple of days.

    Andrew
