Actually from what I can see the struct can be improved in 2 way...
The ancient struct
ar8xxx_port_status port_sts[QCA8K_NUM_PORTS];
can be totally dropped as I can't see why we still need it.

The duplicated ops is funny. I could be very confused but why it's done
like that? Can't we modify directly the already defined one and drop
struct dsa_switch_ops ops; from qca8k_priv?

I mean is all of that to use priv->ops.phy_read instead of
priv->ds->ops.phy_read or even qca8k_switch_ops directly? o.o

Am I missing something?
