On second thought, compatibility with future device trees is the reason
for this patch set, so that should equally be a reason for keeping this
patch in a "net" series.

If I understand you correctly, port 5 should have worked since commit
c8b8a3c601f2 ("net: dsa: mt7530: permit port 5 to work without port 6 on
MT7621 SoC"), and it did, except for trapping, right?

So how about settling on that as a more modest Fixes: tag, and
explaining clearly in the commit message what's affected?
