[PATCH net-next 1/5] net: dsa: mxl862xx: store firmware version for feature gating
From: Daniel Golle
Date: Tue May 19 2026 - 13:39:23 EST
Query the firmware version at init (already done in wait_ready),
cache it in priv->fw_version, and provide MXL862XX_FW_VER_MIN()
for version-gated code paths throughout the driver.
The union mxl862xx_fw_version lays out major/minor/revision so
that the u32 raw field compares with natural version ordering on
both big- and little-endian machines.
