Re: [PATCH net-next v6 0/9] net: dsa: realtek: rtl8365mb: add support for RTL8367S-VB

[Stanislaw Pal]

>From the family C side: I ran this series on a TP-Link Archer AX55 v1
with an RTL8367S (chip ID 0x6367, family C), its CPU port on a
2500base-x fixed link to an IPQ5018 GMAC, on OpenWrt's 6.18 kernel.

That tree carries rtl8365mb patches of its own: a tag_8021q-based
tagger for a packet offload engine, and one that holds the family C
SerDes bring-up back until the conduit is up, pending in OpenWrt for
this board and the Mercusys MR80X v2. So take this as a check that the
series leaves family C alone rather than a clean test of the series by
itself.

Six boots, five of them cold (power off for 30 s, 30 s, 5 min, 10 min
and overnight), and two restarts of the network configuration: the
trunk came up at 2.5Gbps every time, with no FCS errors on the CPU port
and traffic through it, and a VLAN-aware bridge on the user ports kept
working.

One path I did not run: with the bring-up patch on top,
.conduit_state_change does not bail out on family C, so that early
return was not exercised here. The SerDes register mutex and the other
family C paths ran as posted. I will send the bring-up patch to netdev
once this series is in.
