This patchset factorizes drastically the mv88e6xxx code by sharing a new extendable info structure to store static data such as switch family, product number, number of ports, number of databases and the name.
The next step is to add a "features" bitmap member to the info structure in order to simplify the shared code with a feature-based logic instead of checking their family/ID. This is a step forward having a single mv88e6xxx driver supporting many similar devices, like any usual Linux driver.
