There is, but this isn't highest priority. First, we need to resolve performance regression on traffic between CPU and switch introduced probably by the 2-byte additional Atheros header, which isn't aligned to machine word boundary.
Testing is good to do.
The DSA PR is currently stalled as ath79 is a huge target with many devices and currently the PR breaks 100mbps and realtek switch users.
Great! Compiling from source, at the moment, goes over my head. But if I can get my hands on a ready to flash image I will be glad to help!
should be as simple as
git clone https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt
curl https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/openwrt/openwrt/pull/4622.patch | git am
make menuconfig <-- configure image
make
Great to know, if I have a little bit of time this weekend I definitely will try it ! Thanks
Hey! I got a little bit of time and tried to clone and apply the patch. Seems like Im missing some other patches but couldn't figure it out.

That's because the PR is not updated against latest master. I've abandoned the project for now. @Ansuel and others are working on fixing qca8k.
Maybe trying this with kernel 5.15 will be a better time.
