In the current DSA switch driver API, only the udevice of the switch
(belonging to UCLASS_DSA) is exposed, as well as an "int port" argument.
So drivers do not have access to the udevice of individual ports
(belonging to UCLASS_ETH), one of the reasons being that not all ports
have an associated UCLASS_ETH udevice.
However, all DSA ports have an OF node, and in some cases the driver
needs a handle to it, for all ports including the CPU port. Example: the
following Linux per-port device tree property:
managed = "in-band-status";
states whether a port should operate with clause 37 in-band autoneg
enabled or not.
This patch exposes a function which can be called by individual drivers
as needed.

NXP Legal insists that the following are not fine:
- Saying "NXP Semiconductors" instead of "NXP", since the company's
registered name is "NXP"
- Putting a "(c)" sign in the copyright string
- Putting a comma in the copyright string
The only accepted copyright string format is "Copyright <year-range> NXP".
This patch changes the copyright headers in the networking files that
were sent by me, or derived from code sent by me.

Some drivers might want to execute code for each port at probe time, as
opposed to executing code just-in-time for the port selected for
networking.
To cater to that use case, introduce a .port_probe() callback method
into the DSA switch operations which is called for each available port,
at the end of dsa_port_probe().

DSA stands for Distributed Switch Architecture and it covers switches that
are connected to the CPU through an Ethernet link and generally use frame
tags to pass information about the source/destination ports to/from CPU.
Front panel ports are presented as regular ethernet devices in U-Boot and
they are expected to support the typical networking commands.
DSA switches may be cascaded, DSA class code does not currently support
this.
