> This patch series adds a few helpers to DSA core for clarity and
> readability but brings no functional changes.
> 
> A dsa_slave_notify helper calls the DSA notifiers when (un)registering a
> slave device.
> 
> Most of the DSA slave code only needs to access the dsa_port structure,
> not the dsa_slave_priv (which only contains a few PHY-specific members).
> Thus a dsa_slave_to_port helper returns a dsa_port structure of a slave
> device.
> 
> A dsa_slave_to_master returns the master device of a slave device.
> 
> After that the netdev member of the dsa_port structure is split into two
> explicit master and slave members to avoid confusion, and a dsa_to_port
> helper is added for switch drivers to get a const reference to a port.
> 
> Changes in v2:
>   - prefer dsa_slave_to_master instead of dsa_slave_get_master
>   - rename dsa_master_get_slave to dsa_master_find_slave
>   - pack master and slave net devices into an anonymous union
>   - add dsa_to_port public helper for switch drivers
>   - add Reviewed-by tags from Florian
