Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

This adds support for the Marvell 88E6250. I've checked that each
member in the ops-structure makes sense, and basic switchdev
functionality works fine.
It uses the new dual_chip option, and since its port registers start
at SMI address 0x08 or 0x18 (i.e., always sw_addr + 0x08), we need to
introduce a new compatible string in order for the auto-identification
in mv88e6xxx_detect() to work.
The chip has four per port 16-bits statistics registers, two of which
correspond to the existing "sw_in_filtered" and "sw_out_filtered" (but
at offsets 0x13 and 0x10 rather than 0x12 and 0x13, because why should
this be easy...). Wiring up those four statistics seems to require
introducing a STATS_TYPE_PORT_6250 bit or similar, which seems a tad
ugly, so for now this just allows access to the STATS_TYPE_BANK0 ones.
The chip does have ptp support, and the existing
mv88e6352_{gpio,avb,ptp}_ops at first glance seem like they would work
out-of-the-box, but for simplicity (and lack of testing) I'm eliding
this.
