Device tree is supposed to describe the hardware. Using that hardware
in different ways is not something you should describe in DT.
There are also a lot of IS_ENABLED() here, which i don't like. It is a
lot better than #ifdef, but we should try to do better. It would be
good to split this cleanly into three parts. A generic library, which
does not care about DUAL_MAC or SWITCHDEV. A driver which implements
legacy DUAL MAC etc. And a driver which implements SWITCHDEV. We can
then give this new switchdev driver a different compatible. It i still
encoding in device tree how to use the hardware, but it is more
implicit, rather than explicit.
