Resetting the switch at runtime is currently done while changing the
vlan_filtering setting (due to the required TPID change).
But reset is asynchronous with packet egress, and the switch core will
not wait for egress to finish before carrying on with the reset
operation.
As a result, a connected PHY such as the BCM5464 would see an
unterminated Ethernet frame and start to jabber (repeat the last seen
Ethernet symbols - jabber is by definition an oversized Ethernet frame
with bad FCS). This behavior is strange in itself, but it also causes
the MACs of some link partners (such as the FRDM-LS1012A) to completely
lock up.
So as a remedy for this situation, when switch reset is required, simply
inhibit Tx on all ports, and wait for the necessary time for the
eventual one frame left in the egress queue (not even the Tx inhibit
command is instantaneous) to be flushed.

If STP is active, this setting is applied on bridged ports each time an
Ethernet link is established (topology changes).
Since the setting is global to the switch and a reset is required to
change it, resets are prevented if the new callback does not change the
value that the hardware already is programmed for.

VLAN filtering cannot be properly disabled in SJA1105. So in order to
emulate the "no VLAN awareness" behavior (not dropping traffic that is
tagged with a VID that isn't configured on the port), we need to hack
another switch feature: programmable TPID (which is 0x8100 for 802.1Q).
We are reprogramming the TPID to a bogus value which leaves the switch
thinking that all traffic is untagged, and therefore accepts it.
Under a vlan_filtering bridge, the proper TPID of ETH_P_8021Q is
installed again, and the switch starts identifying 802.1Q-tagged
traffic.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt is confusing because
it says what the MAC should not do, but not what it *should* do:
* "rgmii-rxid" (RGMII with internal RX delay provided by the PHY, the MAC
should not add an RX delay in this case)
The gap in semantics is threefold:
1. Is it illegal for the MAC to apply the Rx internal delay by itself,
and simplify the phy_mode (mask off "rgmii-rxid" into "rgmii") before
passing it to of_phy_connect? The documentation would suggest yes.
1. For "rgmii-rxid", while the situation with the Rx clock skew is more
or less clear (needs to be added by the PHY), what should the MAC
driver do about the Tx delays? Is it an implicit wild card for the
MAC to apply delays in the Tx direction if it can? What if those were
already added as serpentine PCB traces, how could that be made more
obvious through DT bindings so that the MAC doesn't attempt to add
them twice and again potentially break the link?
3. If the interface is a fixed-link and therefore the PHY object is
fixed (a purely software entity that obviously cannot add clock
skew), what is the meaning of the above property?
So an interpretation of the RGMII bindings was chosen that hopefully
does not contradict their intention but also makes them more applied.
The SJA1105 driver understands to act upon "rgmii-*id" phy-mode bindings
if the port is in the PHY role (either explicitly, or if it is a
fixed-link). Otherwise it always passes the duty of setting up delays to
the PHY driver.
The error behavior that this patch adds is required on SJA1105E/T where
the MAC really cannot apply internal delays. If the other end of the
fixed-link cannot apply RGMII delays either (this would be specified
through its own DT bindings), then the situation requires PCB delays.
For SJA1105P/Q/R/S, this is however hardware supported and the error is
thus only temporary. I created a stub function pointer for configuring
delays per-port on RXC and TXC, and will implement it when I have access
to a board with this hardware setup.
Meanwhile do not allow the user to select an invalid configuration.

Currently only the (more difficult) first generation E/T series is
supported. Here the TCAM is only 4-way associative, and to know where
the hardware will search for a FDB entry, we need to perform the same
hash algorithm in order to install the entry in the correct bin.
On P/Q/R/S, the TCAM should be fully associative. However the SPI
command interface is different, and because I don't have access to a
new-generation device at the moment, support for it is TODO.

At this moment the following is supported:
* Link state management through phylib
* Autonomous L2 forwarding managed through iproute2 bridge commands.
IP termination must be done currently through the master netdevice,
since the switch is unmanaged at this point and using
DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE.
