It has been implemented with commit
f50f212749e8a28803af3628acbeb85ee0458ed5 ("net: dsa: Add plumbing for
port mirroring") and you can see an implementation example with the b53
driver.
For a DSA driver you should be implementing port_mirror_add and
port_mirror_del operations which provide you with the necessary
information. Hopefully the switch you are working with (mv88e6xxx?) is
also supportable using that API, if not, please submit changes to extend it.
Thanks!
