The D in DSA is distributed, meaning multiple switches can be connected together. Currently no mainline system does this, and so the code is broken. This patchset contains two fixes, and a small helper.
With three of more switches, the current device tree binding is not sufficient to express the routing between the switches. The first patch extends the binding, in a backwards compatible way, to allow a link between a switch to describe all the switches accessible over the link, not just the direct neighbor. The third patch fixes the port configuration on newer devices for links connecting switches.
