When multiple CPU ports are being used, the numerically smallest CPU port
becomes the port all user ports become affine to. This may not be the best
choice for all switches as there may be a numerically greater CPU port with
more bandwidth than the numerically smallest one.

Such switches are MT7530 and MT7531BE, which the MT7530 DSA subdriver
controls. Port 5 of these switches has got RGMII whilst port 6 has got
either TRGMII or SGMII.

Therefore, introduce the preferred_default_local_cpu_port operation to the
DSA subsystem and use it on the MT7530 DSA subdriver to prefer port 6 as
the default CPU port.

To prove the benefit of this operation, I (Arınç) have done a bidirectional
speed test between two DSA user ports on the MT7531BE switch using iperf3.
The user ports are 1 Gbps full duplex and on different networks so the SoC
MAC would have to do 2 Gbps TX and 2 Gbps RX to deliver full speed.

Without preferring port 6:

[ ID][Role] Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Retr
[  5][TX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec   374 MBytes   157 Mbits/sec  734    sender
[  5][TX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec   373 MBytes   156 Mbits/sec    receiver
[  7][RX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec  1.81 GBytes   778 Mbits/sec    0    sender
[  7][RX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec  1.81 GBytes   777 Mbits/sec    receiver

With preferring port 6:

[ ID][Role] Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Retr
[  5][TX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec  1.99 GBytes   856 Mbits/sec  273    sender
[  5][TX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec  1.99 GBytes   855 Mbits/sec    receiver
[  7][RX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec  1.72 GBytes   737 Mbits/sec   15    sender
[  7][RX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec  1.71 GBytes   736 Mbits/sec    receiver

Using one port for WAN and the other ports for LAN is a very popular use
case which is what this test emulates.

This doesn't affect the remaining switches, MT7531AE and the switch on the
MT7988 SoC. Both CPU ports of the MT7531AE switch have got SGMII and there
is only one CPU port on the switch on the MT7988 SoC.
