If I understand correctly, with ("dt-bindings: net: dsa: utilize base 
definitions for standard dsa switches"), these properties are now 
defined on dsa.yaml#/$defs/base and no longer needed to be defined here 
since mediatek,mt7530.yaml was also made to refer to it. It'd make sense 
to remove these properties there as there's continuity.

I'd say get rid of this patch and do above. Trust your gut though. ;P
