Currently it is not controlled at all, eth0 should be disabled and switch port5 enabled 
(or other way around) in devicetree. If both are enabled, it will be some how brocken.  I 
don't know how to properly implement it.
I assume, it should not be controlled by devicetree configuration and user should be able 
to do it dynamically from user space.

Ideas, suggestions?

Kind regards,
