Subject: net: dsa: Realtek switch drivers

Hi All,

I'm starting to look at some L2/L3 switches with Realtek silicon. I see 
in the upstream kernel there are dsa drivers for a couple of simple L2 
switches. While openwrt has support for a lot of the more advanced 
silicon. I'm just wondering if there is a particular reason no-one has 
attempted to upstream support for these switches? If I were to start 
grabbing drivers from openwrt and trying to get them landed would that 
be a problem?

Thanks,
Chris
