-Marvell Distributed Switch Architecture Device Tree Bindings
-------------------------------------------------------------
+Distributed Switch Architecture Device Tree Bindings
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+Two bindings exist, one of which has been deprecated due to
+limitations.
+
+Current Binding
+---------------
+
+Switches are true Linux devices and can be probes by any means. Once
+probed, they register to the DSA framework, passing a node
+pointer. This node is expected to fulfil the following binding, and
+may contain additional properties as required by the device it is
+embedded within.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- ports : A container for child nodes representing switch ports.
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- dsa,member : A two element list indicates which DSA cluster, and position
+ within the cluster a switch takes. <0 0> is cluster 0,
+ switch 0. <0 1> is cluster 0, switch 1. <1 0> is cluster 1,
+ switch 0. A switch not part of any cluster (single device
+ hanging off a CPU port) must not specify this property
+
+The ports container has the following properties
+
+Required properties:
+
+- #address-cells : Must be 1
+- #size-cells : Must be 0
+
+Each port children node must have the following mandatory properties:
+- reg : Describes the port address in the switch
+- label : Describes the label associated with this port, which
+ will become the netdev name. Special labels are
+ "cpu" to indicate a CPU port and "dsa" to
+ indicate an uplink/downlink port between switches in
+ the cluster.
+
+A port labelled "dsa" has the following mandatory property:
+
+- link : Should be a list of phandles to other switch's DSA
+ port. This port is used as the outgoing port
+ towards the phandle ports. The full routing
+ information must be given, not just the one hop
+ routes to neighbouring switches.
+
+A port labelled "cpu" has the following mandatory property:
+
+- ethernet : Should be a phandle to a valid Ethernet device node.
+ This host device is what the switch port is
+ connected to.
+
+Port child nodes may also contain the following optional standardised
+properties, described in binding documents:
+
+- phy-handle : Phandle to a PHY on an MDIO bus. See
+ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt
+ for details.
+
+- phy-mode : See
+ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt
+ for details.
+
+- fixed-link : Fixed-link subnode describing a link to a non-MDIO
+ managed entity. See
+ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/fixed-link.txt
+ for details.
+
+Example
+
+The following example shows three switches on three MDIO busses,
+linked into one DSA cluster.

+
+Deprecated Binding
+------------------
+
+The deprecated binding makes use of a platform device to represent the
+switches. The switches themselves are not Linux devices, and make use
+of an MDIO bus for management.
Required properties:
- compatible : Should be "marvell,dsa"
