Impossible memory leak, I might add, because DSA will error out much
soon if there isn't any CPU port defined:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.15.7/source/net/dsa/dsa2.c#L374
I don't think I should have added the "if (cpu < 0)" check at all, but
then it would have raised other flags, about BIT(negative number) or
things like that. I don't know what's the best way to deal with this?

Anyway, in case we find no better alternative:
