76e398a627 net: dsa: use switchdev obj for VLAN add/del ops
Simplify DSA by pushing the switchdev objects for VLAN add and delete
operations down to its drivers. Currently only mv88e6xxx is affected.

instead of the generic switchdev_obj one.

The net_device associated to a dump operation does not have to be passed

when the OF-generated platform data is cleaned up and freed.  Also

e496ae690b net: dsa: fix of_mdio_find_bus() device refcount leak
Current users of of_mdio_find_bus() leak a struct device refcount, as
they fail to clean up the reference obtained inside class_find_device().

Fix the DSA code to properly refcount the returned MDIO bus by:
1. taking a reference on the struct device whenever we assign it to
   pd->chip[x].host_dev.
2. dropping the reference when we overwrite the existing reference.
3. dropping the reference when we free the data structure.
4. dropping the initial reference we obtained after setting up the
   platform data structure, or on failure.

In step 2 above, where we obtain a new MDIO bus, there is no need to
take a reference on it as we would only have to drop it immediately
after assignment again, iow:

	put_device(cd->host_dev);	/* drop original assignment ref */
	cd->host_dev = get_device(&mdio_bus_switch->dev); /* get our ref */
	put_device(&mdio_bus_switch->dev); /* drop of_mdio_find_bus ref */

55045ddded net: dsa: add support for switchdev FDB objects
Remove the fdb_{add,del,getnext} function pointer in favor of new
port_fdb_{add,del,getnext}.

Implement the switchdev_port_obj_{add,del,dump} functions in DSA to
support the SWITCHDEV_OBJ_PORT_FDB objects.

04ff53f96a net: dsa: Add netconsole support
Add support for using DSA slave network devices with netconsole, which
requires us to allocate and free custom netpoll instances and invoke the
parent network device poll controller callback.

In order for netconsole to work, we need to construct the DSA tag, but
not queue the skb for transmission on the master network device xmit
function.

4ed70ce9f0 net: dsa: Refactor transmit path to eliminate duplication
All tagging protocols do the same thing: increment device statistics,
make room for the tag to be inserted, create the tag, invoke the parent
network device transmit function.

In order to prepare for adding netpoll support, which requires the tag
creation, but not using the parent network device transmit function, do
some little refactoring which eliminates duplication between the 4
tagging protocols supported.

We need to return a sk_buff pointer back to the caller because the tag
specific transmit function may have to reallocate the original skb (e.g:
tag_trailer.c) and this is the one we should be transmitting, not the
original sk_buff we were passed.
