An Ethernet switch may support having a MAC address, which can be used as the switch's source address in transmitted full-duplex Pause frames. If a DSA switch supports the related .set_addr operation, the DSA core sets the master's MAC address on the switch. This won't make sense anymore in a multi-CPU ports system, because there won't be a unique master device assigned to a switch tree. Instead, setup the switch from within the Marvell driver with a random MAC address, and remove the .set_addr implementation.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
