I fully understand and just poked the mailing list as the patch
submission guide suggested :).

The datasheet doesn't mention "mirror" or "monitor". It's a hardware
limitation.

The current patch will only work on the AR8327 switch (which is
supported by the ar8216 driver). I'll browse for a datasheet (or contact
Qualcomm, no idea if they're willing to help) and try to add support for
the AR8216 too (although I couldn't find any relevant documentation to
this chip yet).
