Hi Andrew,

Thanks for reviewing.

Yes. This is for the Armada 8K based Clearfog GT-8K. The board has a Marvell 
88E6141 switch connected to the &cp1_eth2 port.

Here are the relevant DT nodes:

&cp1_mdio {
	...

	switch0: switch0@4 {
		compatible = "marvell,mv88e6085";
		...

		ports {
			...

			port@5 {
				reg = <5>;
				label = "cpu";
				ethernet = <&cp1_eth2>;
			};
		};

Without this patch, dsa_register_switch() returns -EPROBE_DEFER because 
of_find_net_device_by_node() can't find the device_node of the &cp1_eth2 
device.
