As explained by Horatiu Vultur in commit 603ead96 ("net: sparx5: Add spinlock for frame transmission from CPU") which is for a similar hardware design, multiple CPUs can simultaneously perform injection or extraction. There are only 2 register groups for injection and 2 for extraction, and the driver only uses one of each. So we'd better serialize access using spin locks, otherwise frame corruption is possible. Note that unlike in sparx5, FDMA in ocelot does not have this issue because struct ocelot_fdma_tx_ring already contains an xmit_lock. I guess this is mostly a problem for NXP LS1028A, as that is dual core. I don't think VSC7514 is. So I'm blaming the commit where LS1028A (aka the felix DSA driver) started using register-based packet injection and extraction.
