Comment (by disavowed):

 Quick update, I now have the WAN port working perfectly using the in-
 kernel stack, and the LAN ports are working, but there's a catch. To use
 the LAN ports the Kendin switch driver is needed, based on the SPI stack.
 After a good few attempts to port it to the new SPI stack, I ended up
 replacing the new stack with the old (yes I know this is very bad!). If
 anyone out there is good with C, and fancies a challenge, HELP!

 With this done, the switch can be enabled on the command line, there is
 however a problem. In the ethernet config the driver only listens to a
 specific phy, so the switch<>router connection is only activated if a
 cable is connected to a certain port. Im looking at how to fix this both
 in the driver, and by telling linux to ignore the cable state. Any
 suggestions welcome.

 I will try to get the patch collection sorted out and posted asap
