Hi,

having checked the DSA subsystem, it looks to me like
the "label" tag is quite common for those setups.
I am afraid we cannot tell the DSA people how to build switches.

The question then becomes whether switches using USB
internally should be different from other switches.
I'd answer that question in the negative.
