The ocelot and ocelot_port structures will be used by a new DSA driver, so the ocelot_board.c file will have to allocate and work with a private structure (ocelot_port_private), which embeds the generic struct ocelot_port. This is because in DSA, at least one interface does not have a net_device, and the DSA driver API does not interact with that anyway. The ocelot_port structure is equivalent to dsa_port, and ocelot to dsa_switch. The members of ocelot_port which have an equivalent in dsa_port (such as dp->vlan_filtering) have been moved to ocelot_port_private. We want to enforce the coding convention that "ocelot_port" refers to the structure, and "port" refers to the integer index. One can retrieve the structure at any time from ocelot->ports[port]. The patch is large but only contains variable renaming and mechanical movement of fields from one structure to another.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
