Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next v4 2/4] net: dsa: add tag format for MxL862xx
 switches

Add proprietary special tag format for the MaxLinear MXL862xx family of
switches. While using the same Ethertype as MaxLinear's GSW1xx switches,
the actual tag format differs significantly, hence we need a dedicated
tag driver for that.

Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@...rotopia.org>
---
RFC v4:
 * describe fields and variables with comments
 * sub-interface is only 5 bits
 * harmonize Kconfig symbol name
 * maintain alphabetic order in Kconfig
 * fix typo s/beginnig/beginning/
 * fix typo s/swtiches/switches/
 * arrange local variables in reverse xmas tree order

RFC v3: no changes
RFC v2: make sure all tag fields are initialized
