The CHANGEUPPER has a slightly different semantic than the current DSA
notifier, and so events that would look like this during
bcm_sysport_init_tx_ring() (good):

Looking further in bcm_sysport_map_queues() we are getting the following:
6.223042] brcm-systemport 9300000.ethernet eth0: mapping q=0, p=0
[ 6.229369] brcm-systemport 9300000.ethernet eth0: mapping q=1, p=0
[ 6.235659] brcm-systemport 9300000.ethernet eth0: mapping q=2, p=0
[ 6.241945] brcm-systemport 9300000.ethernet eth0: mapping q=3, p=0
[ 6.248232] brcm-systemport 9300000.ethernet eth0: mapping q=4, p=0
[ 6.254519] brcm-systemport 9300000.ethernet eth0: mapping q=5, p=0
[ 6.260805] brcm-systemport 9300000.ethernet eth0: mapping q=6, p=0
[ 6.267092] brcm-systemport 9300000.ethernet eth0: mapping q=7, p=0
which means that the call to netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() that is
executed for the SYSTEMPORT Lite is not taking effect because it is
after the register_netdevice(). Insead of using a CHANGEUPPER notifier,
we can use a REGISTER notifier event and doing that works just fine with
the same semantics as the DSA notifier being removed. This incremental
patch on top of your patch works for me (tm):
