66fd01fe59 net: update NXP copyright text
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.

4b46e83885 net: dsa: introduce a .port_probe() method in struct dsa_ops
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().

fc054d563b net: Introduce DSA class for Ethernet switches
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.
