Agreed, should be tristate.

The 'default' isn't necessary here, the 'select' does it all the same
and there only needs to be one of the two.

The "if NET_VENDOR_MICROSEMI" must come directly after the
config NET_VENDOR_MICROSEMI, otherwise the indentation
in "make menuconfig" is wrong. So please move MSCC_OCELOT_SWITCH
after the "endif".
