EA9500 OpenWRT 19.07.1 - Slow (470-530Mbit) downlink for 1Gbps WAN #1

The issue is similar to npcomplete's build found on openwrt.org forums however in his build it is possible to enable software and hardware NAT offloading which bumps the throughput to about 850/870 Mbit/s max. In this build however the limit is about 480-530 Mbit/s and even after enabling the offloading it doesn't change anything.

Unfortunately, the Broadcom hardware tags for NAT offloading were only added to the DSA version of the b53 driver. 😢

This is definitely a bug, but I'm not sure what the best way to approach this is. Seems like swconfig's days are numbered both in upstream and in OpenWrt, so it may not be worth fixing this anymore.

Just waiting until uci properly supports building the bridges for DSA devices.

@hurrian Do you happen to know the commit id? same problem plagues Phicomm k3 - I would love to try to fix it.

I believe npcomplete fixed b53 dsa hardware tags as part of his patchset for EA9500, kernel 4.19 - you will still need to set up your device's DTS with the correct ports though.
