Currently the SoC network interface (called master) to which a switch
fabric hangs, has its dsa_ptr pointing to a dsa_switch_tree instance.

This is not quite correct, because this interface is physically wired to
one of the switch ports (called CPU port), and because in a switch
fabric with multiple CPU ports, several master interfaces will point to
several CPU ports of the same dsa_switch_tree.

This patchset adds a new dsa_master structure to represent the pipe
between the SoC master interface and its switch CPU port. This structure
will store specific data such as the master ethtool_ops copy and the
tagging protocol used to pass frames with the associated slave ports.
The dsa_ptr is changed to a dsa_master instance, and each DSA slave now
has a pointer to a master port.

This is a step forward better control over the CPU conduit and support
for multiple CPU ports.

Vivien Didelot (4):
  net: dsa: introduce dsa_master
  net: dsa: move master ethtool ops in dsa_master
  net: dsa: change dsa_ptr for a dsa_master
  net: dsa: assign a master to slave ports
