Since 83c0afaec7b7 ("net: dsa: Add new binding implementation"), DSA is
no longer a platform device exclusively and can support registering DSA
switches from other bus drivers (PCI, USB, I2C, etc.).

Design limitations
==================
-DSA is a platform device driver
--------------------------------
-
-DSA is implemented as a DSA platform device driver which is convenient because
-it will register the entire DSA switch tree attached to a master network device
-in one-shot, facilitating the device creation and simplifying the device driver
-model a bit, this comes however with a number of limitations:
-
-- building DSA and its switch drivers as modules is currently not working
-- the device driver parenting does not necessarily reflect the original
- bus/device the switch can be created from
-- supporting non-MDIO and non-MMIO (platform) switches is not possible
-
Limits on the number of devices and ports
-----------------------------------------

FYI: I have code to make mv88e6060 an MDIO device. That will allow us
to remove the legacy code soon.
