AN7563PT is more similar to AN7581 then EN7523. We need a new pinctrl driver for this hardware. Besides that most of the AN7581 stuff should be possible to reuse.

Thanks @merbanan,
I'll try to build with the AN7581 dts source as suggested and let you know.

a good part of the dtsi shares it with the an7581, but it is an armV7, it has
some similarities with an7523, but a good part of the an7581 can be used with
the an7552, in addition the an7552 will need to change some things in the
ethernet driver for it to work, as we have some different bits

The board I have has a separate WAN port instead of sharing the same switch as the LAN port. In the stock firmware, there is a kernel module named ae_wan that manages the WAN port. I found the source code for ae_wan in the airoha_sdk repository. So, do I need to upstream this driver/source code to make the WAN port work?

And after putting the switch node in dts the lan port can be seen up when plugged but no traffic is passing.

&switch {
        status = "okay";
        ports {
                port@4 {
                        label = "lan";
                        reg = <4>;
                        status = "okay";
                };
        };

        mdio {
                ethernet-phy@12 {
                        status = "okay";
                        reg = <12>;
                };
        };
};

A good portion of the ae_wan is already in airoha_eth.c; you'll have to retrieve some bits and addresses and update them in airoha_eth, just like in the an7523, which has some different bits than the an7581/an7583

Regarding the external Ethernet port, you can use an Ethernet port from the mdio, it's probably an EN8811 connected there. You'll have to create a node in dts for it, probably the same as the others devices
