Since the mscc_ocelot_switch_lib is common between a pure switchdev and a DSA driver, the procedure of retrieving a net_device for a certain port index differs, as those are registered by their individual front-ends. Up to now that has been dealt with by always passing the port index to the switch library, but now, we're going to need to work with net_device pointers from the tc-flower offload, for things like indev, or mirred. It is not desirable to refactor that, so let's make sure that the flower offload core has the ability to translate between a net_device and a port index properly.

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.
