Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Marvell nvmem mac addresses support

Hello,

Now that we are aligned on how to make information available from static
storage media to drivers like Ethernet controller drivers or switch
drivers by using nvmem cells and going through the whole nvmem
infrastructure, here are two driver updates to reflect these changes.

Prior to the driver updates, I propose:
* Reverting binding changes which should have never been accepted like
that.
* A conversion of the (old) Prestera and DFX server bindings (optional,
can be dropped if not considered necessary).
* A better description of the more recent Prestera PCI switch.

Please mind that this series cannot break anything since retrieving the
MAC address Prestera driver has never worked upstream, because the (ONIE
tlv) driver supposed to export the MAC address has not been accepted in
its original form and has been updated to the nvmem-layout
infrastructure (bindings have been merged, the code remains to be
applied).

Thanks,
Miquèl

Subject: [PATCH 2/6] dt-bindings: net: marvell,dfx-server: Convert to yaml

Even though this description is not used anywhere upstream (no matching
driver), while on this file I decided I would try a conversion to yaml
in order to clarify the prestera family description.

I cannot keep the nodename dfx-server@xxxx so I switched to dfx-bus@xxxx
which matches simple-bus.yaml. Otherwise I took the example context from
the only user of this compatible: armada-xp-98dx3236.dtsi, which is a
rather old and not perfect DT.

Subject: [PATCH net-next 6/6] net: mvpp2: Consider NVMEM cells as possible MAC address source

The ONIE standard describes the organization of tlv (type-length-value)
arrays commonly stored within NVMEM devices on common networking
hardware.

Several drivers already make use of NVMEM cells for purposes like
retrieving a default MAC address provided by the manufacturer.

What made ONIE tables unusable so far was the fact that the information
where "dynamically" located within the table depending on the
manufacturer wishes, while Linux NVMEM support only allowed statically
defined NVMEM cells. Fortunately, this limitation was eventually tackled
with the introduction of discoverable cells through the use of NVMEM
layouts, making it possible to extract and consistently use the content
of tables like ONIE's tlv arrays.

Parsing this table at runtime in order to get various information is now
possible. So, because many Marvell networking switches already follow
this standard, let's consider using NVMEM cells as a new valid source of
information when looking for a base MAC address, which is one of the
primary uses of these new fields. Indeed, manufacturers following the
ONIE standard are encouraged to provide a default MAC address there, so
let's eventually use it if no other MAC address has been found using the
existing methods.

Subject: [PATCH net-next 5/6] net: marvell: prestera: Avoid unnecessary DT lookups

This driver fist makes an expensive DT lookup to retrieve its DT node
(this is a PCI driver) in order to later search for the
base-mac-provider property. This property has no reality upstream and
this code should not have been accepted like this in the first
place. Instead, there is a proper nvmem interface that should be
used. Let's avoid these extra lookups and rely on the nvmem internal
logic.

Unfortunately, nvmem cells seem to be not supported with ACPI yet, so
we cannot extend fwnode_get_mac_address - I think it should be,
however, an end solution.

As of now, I'd prefer to use of_get_mac_addr_nvmem directly, to avoid
parsing the DT again (after fwnode_get_mac_address) and relying
implicitly on falling back to nvmem stuff (currently, without any
comment it is not obvious).

Best regards,
Marcin

Yes, I have a Replica switch on which the commercial ports use the
replica PCI IP while the config "OOB" port is running with mvpp2:

Agreed.

I did not do that in the first place because of_get_mac_addr_nvmem()
was not exported, but I agree it would be the cleanest (and quickest)
approach, so I'll attempt to export the function first, and then use it
directly from the driver.

Nice. Do you have a DT snippet that can possibly be shared? I'd like
to recreate this locally and eventually leverage EDK2 firmware to
expose that.

That would be great, thank you. Please add one-comment in the
mvpp2_main.c, that this is valid for now only in DT world.

Yes of course, the DT is public on Sartura's Github, but here is the
