239 | DSA is a platform device driver | ||
240 | ------------------------------- | ||
241 | |||
242 | DSA is implemented as a DSA platform device driver which is convenient because | ||
243 | it will register the entire DSA switch tree attached to a master network device | ||
244 | in one-shot, facilitating the device creation and simplifying the device driver | ||
245 | model a bit, this comes however with a number of limitations: | ||
246 | |||
247 | - building DSA and its switch drivers as modules is currently not working | ||
248 | - the device driver parenting does not necessarily reflect the original | ||
249 | bus/device the switch can be created from | ||
250 | - supporting non-MDIO and non-MMIO (platform) switches is not possible | ||
