I'm fine with that. Anything, so long as it does not contain phys.

Maybe you are thinking of:

static inline bool dsa_is_port_initialized(struct dsa_switch *ds, int p)
{
        return ds->phys_port_mask & (1 << p) && ds->ports[p];
}
 
So how about initialized_port_mask, although it is a bit long.
