My understanding is that marvell switch chips are rarely similar in their register mappings. The functionality and the way they work is often similar (at least within a family) but without the register map that doesn't help that much. I don't know why switch chip makers think their documentation is so special that it has to be kept secret. -- Len Sorensen
