I can't tell why it's there. Russell did analyse why it's not needed [1]
and my test [2] confirms it.
This patch is about removing the unnecessary setting of priv->p5_interface
on mt7530_setup_port5() which I believe I have already explained. I would
like to get into the details of priv->p5_interface and priv->p6_interface
when I remove them along with cpu_port_config().
That said, I will refrain from including the last paragraph on the patch
log.
