Makes sense. Pre-preferred_default_local_cpu_port patch, there isn't a 
case where there's a user port affine to a CPU port that is not enabled 
on the CPU port bitmap. So yeah, this is just preparatory work for "net: 
dsa: introduce preferred_default_local_cpu_port and use on MT7530".

So how do I change the patch to reflect this?
