Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 03/12] Documentation: networking: dsa: remove static port count from limitations

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@....com>

After Vivien's series from 2019 containing commits 27d4d19d7c82 ("net:
dsa: remove limitation of switch index value") and ab8ccae122a4 ("net:
dsa: add ports list in the switch fabric"), this is basically no longer
true.
