How big is the later patch set? Too big to accept even one more patch?

There is a risk that the RMU effort gets abandoned before it becomes
functional. And in that case, we will have a newly introduced rmu_enable()
operation which does nothing.

Could you splice the first patch of this set, providing rmu_enable() for
some switches but not all, with the set that integrates the RMU with DSA?
If the big set is accepted, a trivial follow-up will be necessary to
complete the support. If it is not accepted, we don't end up with merged
code that we don't need.
