O.K. That helps a lot with this description.

Does the switch/SoC have ID registers? For mv88e6xxx, the switch is
identified by its ID registers, so we don't have switch specific
compatible value in DT. Hopefully it is the same here. All we need to
say is that there is a switch in the main .dtsi file, and the .dts
file would then indicate which ports are actually used.
