yes you are right it is more a port property. So I will try to parse the DT node for
the port and add the property there. But in this case I need to double check that
the specific port is the one supporting this feature. Not sure yet how to do that, 
I need to check. Also I will move the parsing out of mv88e6xxx_setup to
mv88e6xxx_setup_port then.
