Hi Florian

For these two families, this is correct. And it is a property of the
switch, not the board, so should not be in DT. Other families are
different. Older ones are Fast Ethernet only. Some don't have any
RGMII ports, etc. It could be with time, this condition gets messy, at
which point, a bitmask in ps would make sense. But is it justified
now?
