I thought of another solution, one that does not need new DSA
operations. What if dsa_port_enable was called for CPU/DSA ports after
in dsa_port_setup_switches, after all ports are setup, and
dsa_port_disable called for CPU/DSA ports in dsa_port_teardown_switches?

This seems to me as cleaner solution.
