  1. I wonder how DSA network interfaces can be distinguished reliable. The port interfaces can be easily identified by the phys_port_name IFLA, but what is about the master interfaces?

    I've access to a SoC which has a `dsa` and `eth0` interface (besides 4 port ifaces). Both have the same driver, the same businfo and the same mac address. How can they be distinguished at all, even if they have been renamed or moved into a netns?

    Any ideas?
