Since DSA is supported on all devices, perhaps we should just have:

enum mv88e6xxx_edsa_support {
     MV88E6XXX_EDSA_UNSUPPORTED,
     MV88E6XXX_EDSA_UNDOCUMENTED,
     MV88E6XXX_EDSA_SUPPORTED,
};

?

Do we also want to default to DSA on all devices unless there is a
DT-property saying something else? Using EDSA does not really give you
anything over bare tags anymore. You have fixed the tcpdump-issue, and
the tagger drivers have been unified so there should be no risk of any
regressions there either.
