This needs more work afterwards. Either we define that the switch ID
is only unique in combination with the parent ifindex or we need to
introduce a notation of uniquness into the switch ID itself.
Is the goal to expose a hardware ID here to allow identification of
the hardware chip?
MAC is tempting but I'm pretty sure that we'll have pure L3 devices
being handled by this API at some point.
