The limitation I see in DSA is skipping unavailable ports. E.g. BCM5301x
switches that don't have port 6. The closest match for such case I found
is DSA_PORT_TYPE_UNUSED but I'm not sure if it's enough to handle those
cases.
That DSA_PORT_TYPE_UNUSED would probably require investigating DSA & b53
behaviour *and* discussing it with DSA maintainer to make sure we don't
abuse that.
