if_ether.h: Clarify ethertype validity for gsw1xx dsa

2025-11-28T01:46:54+00:00

This 0x88C3 is registered to Infineon Technologies Corporate Research ST and are used by MaxLinear. Infineon made a spin off called Lantiq. Lantiq was acquired by Intel MaxLinear acquired Intels Connected Home division. The product FAQ from MaxLinear describes it's history from the F24S. The driver for the gsw1xx is based on Lantiq showing it's similarities.

net: dsa: add tagging driver for MaxLinear GSW1xx switch family

2025-11-06T22:16:17+00:00

Add support for a new DSA tagging protocol driver for the MaxLinear GSW1xx switch family. The GSW1xx switches use a proprietary 8-byte special tag inserted between the source MAC address and the EtherType field to indicate the source and destination ports for frames traversing the CPU port. Implement the tag handling logic to insert the special tag on transmit and parse it on receive.

Add a new EtherType ETH_P_REALTEK to the if_ether.h uapi header. The EtherType 0x8899 is used in a number of different protocols from Realtek Semiconductor Corp [1], so no general assumptions should be made when trying to decode such packets.
