Merge branch 'b53-docs'

Benedikt Spranger says:

====================
Document the configuration of b53

this is the third round to document the configuration of a b53 supported
switch.

v3..v2:
- fix a typo
- improve b53 configuration in DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE showcase.
- grade up from RFC to patch for mainline inclusion.

v1..v2:
- split out generic parts of the configuration.
- target comments by Andrew Lunn and Florian Fainelli.
- make changes visible to build system

+==========================================
+Broadcom RoboSwitch Ethernet switch driver
+==========================================
+
+The Broadcom RoboSwitch Ethernet switch family is used in quite a range of
+xDSL router, cable modems and other multimedia devices.
+
+The actual implementation supports the devices BCM5325E, BCM5365, BCM539x,
+BCM53115 and BCM53125 as well as BCM63XX.
+
+Implementation details
+======================
+
+The driver is located in ``drivers/net/dsa/b53/`` and is implemented as a
+DSA driver; see ``Documentation/networking/dsa/dsa.rst`` for details on the
+subsystem and what it provides.
+
+The switch is, if possible, configured to enable a Broadcom specific 4-bytes
+switch tag which gets inserted by the switch for every packet forwarded to the
+CPU interface, conversely, the CPU network interface should insert a similar
+tag for packets entering the CPU port. The tag format is described in
+``net/dsa/tag_brcm.c``.
+
+The configuration of the device depends on whether or not tagging is
+supported.
+
+The interface names and example network configuration are used according the
+configuration described in the :ref:`dsa-config-showcases`.
+
+Configuration with tagging support
+----------------------------------
+
+The tagging based configuration is desired. It is not specific to the b53
+DSA driver and will work like all DSA drivers which supports tagging.
+
+See :ref:`dsa-tagged-configuration`.
+
+Configuration without tagging support
+-------------------------------------
+
+Older models (5325, 5365) support a different tag format that is not supported
+yet. 539x and 531x5 require managed mode and some special handling, which is
+also not yet supported. The tagging support is disabled in these cases and the
+switch need a different configuration.
+
+The configuration slightly differ from the :ref:`dsa-vlan-configuration`.
+
+The b53 tags the CPU port in all VLANs, since otherwise any PVID untagged
+VLAN programming would basically change the CPU port's default PVID and make
+it untagged, undesirable.
+
+In difference to the configuration described in :ref:`dsa-vlan-configuration`
+the default VLAN 1 has to be removed from the slave interface configuration in
+single port and gateway configuration, while there is no need to add an extra
+VLAN configuration in the bridge showcase.
+
+single port
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+The configuration can only be set up via VLAN tagging and bridge setup.
+By default packages are tagged with vid 1:

+=======================================
+DSA switch configuration from userspace
+=======================================
+
+The DSA switch configuration is not integrated into the main userspace
+network configuration suites by now and has to be performed manualy.
+
+.. _dsa-config-showcases:
+
+Configuration showcases
+-----------------------
+
+To configure a DSA switch a couple of commands need to be executed. In this
+documentation some common configuration scenarios are handled as showcases:
+
+*single port*
+  Every switch port acts as a different configurable Ethernet port
+
+*bridge*
+  Every switch port is part of one configurable Ethernet bridge
+
+*gateway*
+  Every switch port except one upstream port is part of a configurable
+  Ethernet bridge.
+  The upstream port acts as different configurable Ethernet port.
+
+All configurations are performed with tools from iproute2, which is available
+at https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/net/iproute2/
+
+Through DSA every port of a switch is handled like a normal linux Ethernet
+interface. The CPU port is the switch port connected to an Ethernet MAC chip.
+The corresponding linux Ethernet interface is called the master interface.
+All other corresponding linux interfaces are called slave interfaces.
+
+The slave interfaces depend on the master interface. They can only brought up,
+when the master interface is up.
+
+In this documentation the following Ethernet interfaces are used:
+
+*eth0*
+  the master interface
+
+*lan1*
+  a slave interface
+
+*lan2*
+  another slave interface
+
+*lan3*
+  a third slave interface
+
+*wan*
+  A slave interface dedicated for upstream traffic
+
+Further Ethernet interfaces can be configured similar.
+The configured IPs and networks are:
+
+*single port*
+  * lan1: 192.0.2.1/30 (192.0.2.0 - 192.0.2.3)
+  * lan2: 192.0.2.5/30 (192.0.2.4 - 192.0.2.7)
+  * lan3: 192.0.2.9/30 (192.0.2.8 - 192.0.2.11)
+
+*bridge*
+  * br0: 192.0.2.129/25 (192.0.2.128 - 192.0.2.255)
+
+*gateway*
+  * br0: 192.0.2.129/25 (192.0.2.128 - 192.0.2.255)
+  * wan: 192.0.2.1/30 (192.0.2.0 - 192.0.2.3)
