This is really ugly :( Should be done differently, more general. I've been
thinking about this for a while. Maybe the solution is to integrate the switch
into DSA subsystem. See net/dsa. Not sure though...

A more general solution is always welcome...

However, although I've not tested it, I think that Marc Kleine-Budde
came up with the correct solution. That was using phy_mask, and set it
up in the *eth_data structure in the board setup code.

Thus, it seems that the needed functionality is readily available.
(Working in the embedded field, I've no problem with defining HW-related
things in the board setup code, as opposite of having it dynamically
defined).

Regards,
Anders
