Missing support for displaying physical port status on the web interface on DSA devices

See original GitHub issue

Before the DSA switchover, the link status of physical ports is displayed on the switch page, which is not present on DSA devices anymore. Currently, as far as I can tell, there is no way to acquire this information on LuCI anymore.

Now that #4307 has been merged, please consider making these basic info available on the web interface as well. The carrier status, duplex mode and speed can be simply acquired from sysfs:

/sys/class/net/eth0/carrier
/sys/class/net/eth0/duplex
/sys/class/net/eth0/speed

a) add a new section to the main status page which simply displays all DSA ports with their related link and speed state (basically just the "Port status: " row)

This should be applied to all ethernet ports, not just DSA. Would be useful for routers that have multiple NICs.

It is open.
