On the NXP Bluebox 3 board which uses a multi-switch setup with sja1105, the mechanism through which the tagger connects to the switch tree is broken, due to improper DSA code design. At the time when tag_ops->connect() is called in dsa_port_parse_cpu(), DSA hasn't finished "touching" all the ports, so it doesn't know how large the tree is and how many ports it has. It has just seen the first CPU port by this time. As a result, this function will call the tagger's ->connect method too early, and the tagger will connect only to the first switch from the tree. This could be perhaps addressed a bit more simply by just moving the tag_ops->connect(dst) call a bit later (for example in dsa_tree_setup), but there is already a design inconsistency at present: on the switch side, the notification is on a per-switch basis, but on the tagger side, it is on a per-tree basis. Furthermore, the persistent storage itself is per switch (ds->tagger_data). And the tagger connect and disconnect procedures (at least the ones that exist currently) could see a fair bit of simplification if they didn't have to iterate through the switches of a tree. To fix the issue, this change transforms tag_ops->connect(dst) into tag_ops->connect(ds) and moves it somewhere where we already iterate over all switches of a tree. That is in dsa_switch_setup_tag_protocol(), which is a good placement because we already have there the connection call to the switch side of things. As for the dsa_tree_bind_tag_proto() method (called from the code path that changes the tag protocol), things are a bit more complicated because we receive the tree as argument, yet when we unwind on errors, it would be nice to not call tag_ops->disconnect(ds) where we didn't previously call tag_ops->connect(ds). We didn't have this problem before because the tag_ops connection operations passed the entire dst before, and this is more fine grained now. To solve the error rewind case using the new API, we have to create yet one more cross-chip notifier for disconnection, and stay connected with the old tag protocol to all the switches in the tree until we've succeeded to connect with the new one as well. So if something fails half way, the whole tree is still connected to the old tagger. But there may still be leaks if the tagger fails to connect to the 2nd out of 3 switches in a tree: somebody needs to tell the tagger to disconnect from the first switch. Nothing comes for free, and this was previously handled privately by the tagging protocol driver before, but now we need to emit a disconnect cross-chip notifier for that, because DSA has to take care of the unwind path. We assume that the tagging protocol has connected to a switch if it has set ds->tagger_data to something, otherwise we avoid calling its disconnection method in the error rewind path. The rest of the changes are in the tagging protocol drivers, and have to do with the replacement of dst with ds. The iteration is removed and the error unwind path is simplified, as mentioned above.
