The only thing which confused me is all the references to Ocelot. As far as I can see, this is a driver for the vsc8584 PHY in the Viper family. The Ocelot confusion is properly because you are developing it on an Ocelot board. But this is actually a modded board, the official PCB 120 and PCB123 has a different pin compatible PHY without MACsec. FYI: In the Viper family we have VSC8575, VSC8582, VSC8584, VSC8562 and VSC8564. VSC8575, does not have MACsec, but all other does, and they are binary compatible (it is the same die instantiated 2 or 4 times, with or without MACsec/SyncE). I beleive it is only the commit comments which needs to be addressed. /Allan The 08/08/2019 16:05, Antoine Tenart wrote: > External E-Mail > > > Hello, > > This series intends to add support for offloading MACsec transformations > in hardware enabled devices.
