DL-WRX36 and DSA

[eginnc]

While it appears to, the DL-WRX36 does not use DSA (or swconfig).

For a little more detail see here:

Its neither DSA nor swconfig, all of the ports are presented as regular netdevs and VLAN-s work AFAIK

Yes, it does. (At least DL-WR36 does.) Sadly it does not use DSA, it just looks that way little, given the way the interfaces are named in the DTS. ipq807x is using a very bare-bones switchdev driver, which fakes all switch ports to the kernel as independent ethernet cards (which they are not, they are part of a common switch) with consequences to MAC learning and other quirks resulting out of that. Contrary to the situation with real DSA based drivers, here the kernel does not get to know a…
