+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : Should be "marvell,dsa"
+- #address-cells : Must be 2, first cell is the address on the MDIO bus
+ and second cell is the address in the switch tree.
+ Second cell is used only when cascading/chaining.
+- #size-cells : Must be 0
+- dsa,ethernet : Should be a phandle to a valid Ethernet device node

+
+Optionnal properties:
+- interrupts : property with a value describing the switch
+ interrupt number (not supported by the driver)
+
+A DSA node can contain multiple switch chips which are therefore child nodes of
+the parent DSA node. The maximum number of allowed child nodes is 4
+(DSA_MAX_SWITCHES).
+Each of these switch child nodes should have the following required properties:
+
+- reg : Describes the switch address on the MII bus
+- #address-cells : Must be 1
+- #size-cells : Must be 0
+
+A switch may have multiple "port" children nodes
+
+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, special
+ labels are "cpu" to indicate a CPU port and "dsa" to
+ indicate an uplink/downlink port.
+
+Note that a port labelled "dsa" will imply checking for the uplink phandle
+described below.
+
+Optionnal property:
+- link : Should be a phandle to another switch's DSA port.
+ This property is only used when switches are being
+ chained/cascaded together.
+
+Example:
+
+ dsa@0 {
+ compatible = "marvell,dsa";
+ #address-cells = <2>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ interrupts = <10>;
+ dsa,ethernet = <&ethernet0>;
+ dsa,mii-bus = <&mii_bus0>;
+
+ switch@0 {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+ reg = <16 0>; /* MDIO address 16, switch 0 in tree */
+
+ port@0 {

+ label = "lan1";
+ };
+
+ port@1 {
+ reg = <1>;
+ label = "lan2";

++ AF_PACKET TPACKET_V3 example
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+AF_PACKET's TPACKET_V3 ring buffer can be configured to use non-static frame
+sizes by doing it's own memory management. It is based on blocks where polling
+works on a per block basis instead of per ring as in TPACKET_V2 and predecessor.
+
+It is said that TPACKET_V3 brings the following benefits:
+ *) ~15 - 20% reduction in CPU-usage
+ *) ~20% increase in packet capture rate
+ *) ~2x increase in packet density
+ *) Port aggregation analysis
+ *) Non static frame size to capture entire packet payload
+
+So it seems to be a good candidate to be used with packet fanout.

+it with gcc -Wall -O2 blob.c, and try things like "./a.out eth0", etc.):

+8) Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
+The driver supports the IEEE 1588-2002, Precision Time Protocol (PTP),
+which enables precise synchronization of clocks in measurement and
+control systems implemented with technologies such as network
+communication.
+
+In addition to the basic timestamp features mentioned in IEEE 1588-2002
+Timestamps, new GMAC cores support the advanced timestamp features.
+IEEE 1588-2008 that can be enabled when configure the Kernel.
+
+9) SGMII/RGMII supports
+New GMAC devices provide own way to manage RGMII/SGMII.
+This information is available at run-time by looking at the
+HW capability register. This means that the stmmac can manage
+auto-negotiation and link status w/o using the PHYLIB stuff
+In fact, the HW provides a subset of extended registers to
+restart the ANE, verify Full/Half duplex mode and Speed.
+Also thanks to these registers it is possible to look at the
+Auto-negotiated Link Parter Ability.
+
+10) TODO:
o XGMAC is not supported.
- o Add the PTP - precision time protocol
+ o Complete the TBI & RTBI support.
+ o extened VLAN support for 3.70a SYNP GMAC.
