Okay, it is indeed better to reuse the phandle embedded in the cpu
ports. I will reuse this in the next one.

By the ways, I have a question which is could current DSA framework
allows managing the fabric designated from "multiple cpu ports" to "user
ports" in any combination in brctl and in other existing commands?

For example.

I assume that there are two cpu port called 5, and 6.and there are five
user ports called 0, 1, 2 and 3. and the default fabric on the switch is
mapping from { 5 } <-> { 0, 1, 2, 3 ,4 } where members in the braces I
assumes they also can communicate with each other.

Is it feasible for changing the fabric into other combinations in the
runtime such as 
{5} <-> {0, 1, 2, 3} and {6} <-> {4}
{5} <-> {0, 1, 2} and {6} <-> {3, 4} or 
{6} <-> {0, 1} and {6} <-> {2, 3, 4} or
....
{6} <-> {0, 1, 2, 3 ,4} ?

After some trace code, I found it seemed that only one cpu port could be
supported via one dsa registration.
