We are utilizing the known possible configuration for the exact same hardware from upstream to make conclusions regarding the mfr configuration
ANSWER: mdio@90000 in upstream matches mdio@90000 in mfr and is a switch. This must be the QCA8075
that leaves the unknown switch to be the QCA8337
that leaves the unknown switch to be the QCA8337 - mooleshacat detected mouse :3
QUESTIONS:
- where is the QCA8337?
- how is the QCA8337 initialized by the mfr? Does it matter given (see below) ?
- given both upstream and mfr use exact same hardware (QCA8337 & QCA8075) can we configure ours like upstream instead of mfr?
- to me this indicates both switches are compatible with both configurations
- if we do that , what are the possible negative effects?
- we would still require them to end up connected to gmac1
- where is the QCA8337? ((cat caught mouse :3))
- how is the QCA8337 initialized by the mfr? Does it matter given (see below)? ((NO))
- given both upstream and mfr use exact same hardware (QCA8337 & QCA8075) can we configure ours like upstream instead of mfr? ((PROBLY))
- to me this indicates both switches are compatible with both configurations - side-by-side and daisy-chained ((YES IANDI AGREE))
- if we do that , what are the possible negative effects? ((IM AN IDIOT I DONT KNOW HARDWARE ADDRESS SAME AS MFR WE COOL RIGHT BRO))
- we would still require them to end up connected to gmac1 ((YES SWITCHES NEED INTERCOMMUNICATION, AND SECURITY CONCERNS REMAIN SEPARATED))
NOTE RE: ADDRESS SPACE CONFLICTS:
the table is corrected, instead of deleting upstream mdio@9000 (QCA8075) we should use it as it is, and connect the QCA8337 daisy chained as upstream does - disregarding mfr - though still needs to be connected to gmac1/eth1

though still needs same HARDWARE ADDRESS as mfr and to be connected to gmac1/eth1 to keep security concerns separated as mfr does
if we do not add the proprietary LED controller (why would we?) we free up that space for the QCA8337
