Design limitations ================== -DSA is a platform device driver -------------------------------- - -DSA is implemented as a DSA platform device driver which is convenient because -it will register the entire DSA switch tree attached to a master network device -in one-shot, facilitating the device creation and simplifying the device driver -model a bit, this comes however with a number of limitations: - -- building DSA and its switch drivers as modules is currently not working -- the device driver parenting does not necessarily reflect the original - bus/device the switch can be created from -- supporting non-MDIO and non-MMIO (platform) switches is not possible - Limits on the number of devices and ports -----------------------------------------
