I tried to apply this series to review it. Unfortunately It no longer
applies cleanly since it has textual conflicts with 972383aecf43 ("net:
ti: icssg-switch: Add switchdev based driver for ethernet switch
support"), which was part of:

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240528113734.379422-1-danishanwar@ti.com/

The conflict seemed easy enough to resolve, but I'm not sure if the
prueth_qos structure would be placed optimally. I tried to build the
driver to check what the placement should be and was unable to get
things to compile.
