Hi David, Jakub, This patch series addresses a long standing with no known impact today with the overloading of netdev_ops done by the DSA layer.
First we introduce a ndo_equal netdev_ops function pointer, then we have DSA utilize it, and finally all in tree users are converted to using either netdev_ops_equal() or __netdev_ops_equal() (for const struct net_device reference). I did my best to build test each driver being changed here. A coccinelle script will be submitted later on when it works with the coccicheck target integration.
