Re: [PATCH] net: dsa: mt7530: disable LEDs before reset

Hey Justin.

I couldn't find anything on the MT7621 Giga Switch Programming Guide v0.3
document regarding which pin corresponds to which bit on the HWTRAP
register. There's only this mention on the LED controller section,
"hardware traps and LEDs share the same pins in GSW". But page 16 of the
schematics document for Banana Pi BPI-R2 [1] fully documents this.

The HWTRAP register is populated right after power comes back after the
switch chip is reset [2]. This means any active link before the reset will
go away so the high/low state of the pins will go back to being dictated by
the bootstrapping design of the board. The HWTRAP register will be
populated before a link can be set up.

In conclusion, I don't see any need to disable the LED controller before
resetting the switch chip.

[2] I've tested it on my MT7621AT board with a 40MHz XTAL frequency and a
board with standalone MT7530 with 25MHz XTAL frequency.

While the kernel was booting, before the DSA subdriver kicks in:
- For the board with 40 MHz XTAL: I've connected a Vcc pin to ESW_P3_LED_0
to set it high.
- For the board with 25 MHz XTAL: I've connected a GND pin to ESW_P3_LED_0
to set it low.

Board with 40 MHz XTAL:
[ 2.359428] mt7530-mdio mdio-bus:1f: MT7530 adapts as multi-chip module
[ 2.374918] mt7530-mdio mdio-bus:1f: xtal is 25MHz

Board with 25 MHz XTAL:
[ 4.324672] mt7530-mdio mdio-bus:1f: xtal is 40MHz
