Introducing a macro is fine.

However instead of using an index "i" as iterator, I'd suggest using a
pointer to struct tb_port.  This reduces the horizontal width of the
code because you can replace the "sw->ports[i]" with just "port".

In most of the loops this also saves 1 line for an assignment:
"struct tb_port *port = &sw->ports[i];"

In fact, I've already proposed such a macro more than a year ago
but it never got merged:

https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/983863/ 

/**
 * tb_sw_for_each_port() - iterate over ports on a switch
 * @switch: pointer to struct tb_switch over whose ports shall be iterated
 * @port: pointer to struct tb_port which shall be used as the iterator
 *
 * Excludes port 0, which is the switch itself and therefore irrelevant for
 * most iterations.
 */
#define tb_sw_for_each_port(switch, port)				 \
	for (port = &(switch)->ports[1];				 \
	     port <= &(switch)->ports[(switch)->config.max_port_number]; \
	     port++)

Thanks,
