Russell King suggested that felix_vsc9959, seville_vsc9953 and ocelot_ext have a large portion of duplicated init code, which could be made common [1]. [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/Zh1GvcOTXqb7CpQt@shell.armlinux.org.uk/ Here, we take the following common steps: - "felix" and "ds" structure allocation - "felix", "ocelot" and "ds" basic structure initialization - dsa_register_switch() call and we make a common function out of them. For every driver except felix_vsc9959, this is also the entire probing procedure. For felix_vsc9959, we also need to do some PCI-specific stuff, which can easily be reordered to be done before, and unwound on failure. We also have to convert the bus-specific platform_set_drvdata() and pci_set_drvdata() calls into dev_set_drvdata(). But this should have no impact on the behavior.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
