[PR] ath79: dw02-412h – migrate from swconfig to DSA

AbdRzj · February 2, 2026, 3:10pm

Hi,

I’ve submitted a Pull Request to OpenWrt that migrates the ath79
Dongwon DW02-412H device from the legacy swconfig framework
to the modern DSA architecture.

The change has been tested on real hardware.

I would appreciate feedback from ath79 / DSA maintainers or
any users of this device.

ath79: dw02-412h: migrate switch from swconfig to DSA This change migrates th…e ath79 dw02-412h device from the legacy swconfig switch framework to the modern DSA architecture. The migration has been tested and verified on ath79 dw02-412h hardware. Changes included: - Update device DTS to replace swconfig definitions with DSA switch and port nodes - Adjust nand.mk to reflect the new DSA-based network configuration - Enable DSA support in kernel config while keeping ag71xx-legacy Fully switching to the upstream ag71xx driver is currently not possible on this ath79 target, as it causes qca8k probe failures and prevents initialization of the second ethernet interface. Until upstream ag71xx can reliably replace ag71xx-legacy, the legacy driver must remain functional. This change removes the dependency on swconfig for ath79 dw02-412h and aligns the device with the current OpenWrt networking architecture.

Thanks!
