I suppose if we later change to dsa_switch_alloc(...,3), then it could
be further simplified to

if (port != 0)
	return lan9303_enable_packet_processing(chip, port);

Or perhaps no test is needed at all. The driver assumes port 0 is cpu
port, which is the sensible way to use the chip. (Because port 0 has
no phy, the others have phy). Declaring a different port as cpu port in
DTS will not work, but it will not crash the kernel.
