Hi Sunil
That is a classic Linux DSA setup. I know it is no longer an issue,
but you might want to look at how switches are supported in Linux. I'm
sure there are people here who are interested in the setup, and having
the MAC do the DSA header work in hardware poses interesting questions
for the Linux DSA architecture. What would a tag driver in
net/dsa/tag_<FOO>.c look like, how do we tell the MAC about the switch
ports it needs to have slave interfaces for, etc.
