I think:

"On the MT7530, the CPU_PORT() field indicates which CPU port to trap
frames to, regardless of the affinity of the inbound user port."

covers everything necessary in the first paragraph? Sorry to be a pain
about this, but commit logs should be understandable.

"When multiple CPU ports are in use, if the DSA conduit interface is
down, trapped frames won't be passed to the conduit interface."

... "to the first CPU port" - isn't that what the code is doing with
__ffs(priv->active_cpu_ports)? You're giving priority to the lowest
numbered port, and I think that should be stated in the commit message.
