+enable_roce: RoCE enablement state
+----------------------------------
+RoCE enablement state controls driver support for RoCE traffic.
+When RoCE is disabled, there is no gid table, only raw ethernet QPs are supported and traffic on the well known UDP RoCE port is handled as raw ethernet traffic.
+
+To change RoCE enablement state a user must change the driverinit cmode value and run devlink reload.

+User command examples:

+====================
+- The new (cpsw_new.c) driver is operating in dual-emac mode by default, thus
+working as 2 individual network interfaces. Main differences from legacy CPSW
+driver are:
+ - optimized promiscuous mode: The P0_UNI_FLOOD (both ports) is enabled in
+addition to ALLMULTI (current port) instead of ALE_BYPASS.
+So, Ports in promiscuous mode will keep possibility of mcast and vlan filtering,
+which is provides significant benefits when ports are joined to the same bridge,
+but without enabling "switch" mode, or to different bridges.
+ - learning disabled on ports as it make not too much sense for
+ segregated ports - no forwarding in HW.
+ - enabled basic support for devlink.

+# Bridging in dual mac mode
+====================
+The dual_mac mode requires two vids to be reserved for internal purposes,
+which, by default, equal CPSW Port numbers. As result, bridge has to be
+configured in vlan unaware mode or default_pvid has to be adjusted.
+
+ ip link add name br0 type bridge
+ ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 0

+ ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
+ ip link set dev sw0p1 master br0
+ ip link set dev sw0p2 master br0
+
+====================
+# Enabling "switch"
+====================
+The Switch mode can be enabled by configuring devlink driver parameter
+"switch_mode" to 1/true:
+ devlink dev param set platform/48484000.switch \
+ name switch_mode value 1 cmode runtime
+
+This can be done regardless of the state of Port's netdev devices - UP/DOWN, but
+Port's netdev devices have to be in UP before joining to the bridge to avoid
+overwriting of bridge configuration as CPSW switch driver copletly reloads its
+configuration when first Port changes its state to UP.
+
+When the both interfaces joined the bridge - CPSW switch driver will enable
+marking packets with offload_fwd_mark flag unless "ale_bypass=0"
+
+All configuration is implemented via switchdev API.
