If this was to happen - as unlikely as I find it - I would suggest adding a
new MTXXXX_NUM_PORTS and set priv->ds->num_ports to it after checking
priv->id. I'm a maintainer here so I'll keep an eye out.

Correct me if I'm wrong, we introduced priv->active_cpu_ports because
CPU_PORT_MASK from the MT7530_MFC register is a 3-bit mask, meant to keep a
single port number ranging from 0 to 7. There's no single bit corresponding
to cpu_dp->index on the MT7530_MFC register. So I don't see how what you
suggest here would work.

This is what I've got right now:

static void
mt753x_conduit_state_change(struct dsa_switch *ds,
			    const struct net_device *conduit,
			    bool operational)
{
	struct dsa_port *cpu_dp = conduit->dsa_ptr;
	struct mt7530_priv *priv = ds->priv;
	u8 mask;
	int val = 0;

	/* Set the CPU port to trap frames to for MT7530. Trapped frames will be
	 * forwarded to the numerically smallest CPU port which the DSA conduit
	 * interface its affine to is up.
	 */
	if (priv->id != ID_MT7530 && priv->id != ID_MT7621)
		return;

	mask = BIT(cpu_dp->index);

	if (operational)
		priv->active_cpu_ports |= mask;
	else
		priv->active_cpu_ports &= ~mask;

	if (priv->active_cpu_ports)
		val =
		    CPU_EN |
		    CPU_PORT(__ffs((unsigned long)priv->active_cpu_ports));

	mt7530_rmw(priv, MT7530_MFC, CPU_EN | CPU_PORT_MASK, val);
}

Got it, thanks. I've got a few patches that introduce changes to the
mt7530_priv structure. I'll make sure that, in the end, mt7530_priv won't
have any holes.
