Move port_bit() to rtl837x_common.h as PORT_BIT(), a uint16_t shift,
and MAC_ADDR_LEN from rtl837x_lldp.h next to it, and use MAC_ADDR_LEN
for every address in the LACP code instead of a literal 6. Define
lacp_mux_update() before its first caller and drop the forward
declaration, declare variables at the top of their blocks, put the
operator at the end of a continued line, drop the field value comments
of the LACPDU struct, and leave lacp_port_lag to lacp_init() instead of
initialising it in the test environment.
Dynamic link aggregation on top of the static LAGG, for RTL8372/8373:
receive, selection and mux state machines (coupled mux, one aggregator
per group), with "lacp show" to look inside. Each of the four trunk
groups runs its own aggregator on the candidate ports assigned with
"lag <n> lacp <ports>"; the engine starts with the first such group and
stops with the last.
LACPDUs reach the CPU through the reserved-multicast trap, so delivery
needs no L2 entry and nothing written per VLAN or per PVID. The trap
acts on the address before the VLAN lookup and before the ingress
filters, so a LACPDU also arrives on a port that admits tagged frames
only and on a port STP holds in blocking, neither of which a forwarded
one reaches. A trapped frame carries no VLAN tag,
so lacp_in() takes the offset of the PDU body from TRAP_RX_BODY(). The
action is set with trap_rma_set(), which leaves the flags sharing that
register alone, and "lacp off" puts the slow-protocols drop default
back. doc/lacp.md and doc/link_aggregation.md record what was measured,
including why the trap looked like a dead end at first.
The web UI gets a Static/LACP mode per group on the LAG page with live
status, and the startup-config validator knows the per-group syntax. A
host-side sandbox for the state machines runs in the test harness
together with the LAG hash check. It drives both forms of an incoming
LACPDU, so the body offset of a trapped one is covered as well.
The L2 table page iterated with the "next unicast" read method, so
static multicast entries such as an IGMP group were invisible. It now
iterates with "next address", skips L3 entries (their layout carries IP
addresses where a MAC is expected), and reports the lowest member of a
multicast entry's port mask, so such an entry shows up as a static
entry on that port.
A port taken out of LACP forgets its partner, so "lacp show" after
"lacp off" no longer reports one. Applying the same candidate set to a
group again, as the LAG page does on every Apply, leaves the trunk
alone instead of tearing it down for a second or two. lacp_in() checks
the frame length and ethertype before reading a LACPDU, so a runt or a
foreign frame on the slow-protocols address cannot leave stale buffer
bytes as a partner. The sandbox covers these three in T20-T22. On the
LAG page, LACP mode with no ports checked sends "lag N lacp off", and
the startup-config validator wants at least one port after "lacp".

lldp.json has a hanging , in the array; so overwriting it
Building with SDCC 4.6.0 emits tons of warnings e.g.:
cmd_parser.c:31: warning 356: object in read-only code space should be const
cmd_parser.c:36: warning 357: pointer to object in read-only code space should be pointer to const
These of course become fatal when building with --Werror.
Comparing resultant binaries, it seems that a single string is shifted
(deduplication?) but the numbers emitted at the end of the build are
otherwise identical.
The switch is reached through four register functions and the SFR_DATA
registers, so a flat register file behind them is enough to run the table
code on the host. A few addresses are live: writing TBL_CTRL with EXECUTE
performs the VLAN or L2 operation at once and clears the bit, STAT_GET
fetches a counter, L2_TBL_FLUSH_CTRL drops entries. Nothing ever reports
busy, so a polling loop runs once and the tests say nothing about what
happens when hardware stalls; that question was settled elsewhere.
The header states the VLAN and L2 entry layouts on its own, so a test can
hold what rtl837x_port.c writes against a second reading of the same bits
rather than against itself. The first suite does that for the VLAN entry,
the PVID register two ports share, the static multicast and management
entries, the per-port flush and the trunk registers. Two stub headers stand
in for the ones a firmware build generates, so the harness needs no SDCC
build first.
