Hi Sergei

What you cannot see in this hunk, but can in the file is:

Marvell Distributed Switch Architecture Device Tree Bindings
------------------------------------------------------------

Required properties:
- compatible            : Should be "marvell,dsa"
- #address-cells        : Must be 2, first cell is the address on the MDIO bus
                          and second cell is the address in the switch tree.
                          Second cell is used only when cascading/chaining.
- #size-cells           : Must be 0
- dsa,ethernet          : Should be a phandle to a valid Ethernet device node
- dsa,mii-bus           : Should be a phandle to a valid MDIO bus device node

The optional mii-bus properties i'm adding should be used in
preference to this global one, for this switch. Keeping the names the
same makes sense. But i did drop the dsa prefix to indicate it is
local, not global scope, and all the other properties at switch level
do not use the dsa prefix.
