Ocelot has the concept of a CPU port. The CPU port is represented in the forwarding and the queueing system, but it is not a physical device. The CPU port can either be accessed via register-based injection/extraction (which is the case of Ocelot), via Frame-DMA (similar to the first one), or "connected" to a physical Ethernet port (called NPI in the datasheet) which is the case of the Felix DSA switch. In Ocelot the CPU port is at index 11. In Felix the CPU port is at index 6. The CPU bit is treated special in the forwarding, as it is never cleared from the forwarding port mask (once added to it). Other than that, it is treated the same as a normal front port. Both Felix and Ocelot should use the CPU port in the same way. This means that Felix should not use the NPI port directly when forwarding to the CPU, but instead use the CPU port. This patch is fixing this such that Felix will use port 6 as its CPU port, and just use the NPI port to carry the traffic. Therefore, eliminate the "ocelot->cpu" variable which was holding the index of the NPI port for Felix, and the index of the CPU port module for Ocelot, so the variable was actually configuring different things for different drivers and causing at least part of the confusion. Also remove the "ocelot->num_cpu_ports" variable, which is the result of another confusion. The 2 CPU ports mentioned in the datasheet are because there are two frame extraction channels (register based or DMA based). This is of no relevance to the driver at the moment, and invisible to the analyzer module. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Suggested-by: Allan W.

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.
