Which of course means the change does not actually ensure the port
ordering matches the marvell documentation or u-boot.  It only handles
the relative order of the ports.  For now.

So since it doesn't actually work, maybe reverting it so it no longer
violates the dtb ordeting rule makes sense.

Doesn't mean openwrt/lede/etc don't have to deal with the ordering in
the future if async probing takes off.
