[Bridge] Antwort: RSTP daemon and Marvel switch

Currently, I can not distinguish these frames. I can't find DSA drivers in the mainline Linux Kernel for the Marvel Switch Chip (88E6071) . Bur there are drivers for other DSA supported chips from marvel (88E6060). Related Question: How do I customize my device tree bindings (dts file) for DSA support?

Hi Oliver,
Yes , you need DSA to distinguish from which port a frame arrived.
DSA driver in Linux is available in below path, "drivers/net/dsa/"
for reference "
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/net/dsa/"
Thank you
Satya
