Ocelot switches have the abilitiy to be used internally via
memory-mapped IO or externally via SPI or PCIe. This brings up issues
for documentation, where the same chip might be accessed internally in a
switchdev manner, or externally in a DSA configuration. This patch set
is perparation to bring DSA functionality to the VSC7512, utilizing as
much as possible with an almost identical VSC7514 chip.

This patch set changed quite a bit from v2, so I'll omit the background
of how those sets came to be. Rob offered a lot of very useful guidance.
My thanks.

At the end of the day, with this patch set, there should be a framework
to document Ocelot switches (and any switch) in scenarios where they can
be controlled internally (ethernet-switch) or externally (dsa-switch).

---

v4 -> v5
  * Sync DSA maintainers with MAINTAINERS file (new patch 1)
  * Undo move of port description of mediatek,mt7530.yaml (patch 4)
  * Move removal of "^(ethernet-)?switch(@.*)?$" in dsa.yaml from patch 4
    to patch 8
  * Add more consistent capitalization in title lines and better Ethernet
    switch port description. (patch 8)

v3 -> v4
  * Renamed "base" to "ethernet-ports" to avoid confusion with the concept
    of a base class.
  * Squash ("dt-bindings: net: dsa: mediatek,mt7530: fix port description location")
    patch into ("dt-bindings: net: dsa: utilize base definitions for standard dsa
    switches")
  * Corrections to fix confusion about additonalProperties vs unevaluatedProperties.
    See specific patches for details.

v2 -> v3
  * Restructured everything to use a "base" iref for devices that don't
    have additional properties, and simply a "ref" for devices that do.
  * New patches to fix up brcm,sf2, qca8k, and mt7530
  * Fix unevaluatedProperties errors from previous sets (see specific
    patches for more detail)
  * Removed redundant "Device Tree Binding" from titles, where applicable.

v1 -> v2
  * Two MFD patches were brought into the MFD tree, so are dropped
  * Add first patch 1/6 to allow DSA devices to add ports and port
    properties
  * Test qca8k against new dt-bindings and fix warnings. (patch 2/6)
  * Add tags (patch 3/6)
  * Fix vsc7514 refs and properties

A lot of carried over review tags here, so please let me know if
there's anything that needs to be reviewed here, otherwise I'd like 
to merge the series for 6.2 by the end of the day.

I just responded to patch 4, which has a small (?) outstanding issue /
discussion. I asked Rob and Arınç's opinions as to whether it should
hold up this series. Everything else is good to go, as far as I
understand.

No reply :( Since this is "just" DT bindings (as in shouldn't
functionally break anything) - if Rob gives us a green light
we can still pull it into the mid-merge window follow up.
But I'll drop it from pw for now so it doesn't distract us.
