Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: dsa: Do not register devlink for unused ports

Even if commit 1d27732f411d ("net: dsa: setup and teardown ports") indicated
that registering a devlink instance for unused ports is not a problem, and this
is true, this can be confusing nonetheless, so let's not do it.

Fixes: 1d27732f411d ("net: dsa: setup and teardown ports")
