How much (and what) do you plan to add to switchdev.{c,h} in the future?
It's a bit arbitrary to put only mv88e6xxx_handle_violation() in a file
called switchdev.c.

port_fdb_add(), port_mdb_add(), port_vlan_add(), port_vlan_filtering(),
etc etc, are all switchdev things. Anyway.


Firstly, those functions you list are ops functions, while what is in
switchdev.{c,h} is not, secondly the functions in switchdev.{c,h} are the
first to send switchdev messages like SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE events.

Furthermore I think that chip.c is bloated, but I also do plan to add more
to switchdev.{c,h}, and there can be others adding in the future...
