After commit a57d8c217aad ("net: dsa: flush switchdev workqueue before
tearing down CPU/DSA ports"), the port setup and teardown procedure
became asymmetric.
The fact of the matter is that user ports need the shared ports to be up
before they can be used for CPU-initiated termination. And since we
register net devices for the user ports, those won't be functional until
we also call the setup for the shared (CPU, DSA) ports. But we may do
that later, depending on the port numbering scheme of the hardware we
are dealing with.
It just makes sense that all shared ports are brought up before any user
port is. I can't pinpoint any issue due to the current behavior, but
let's change it nonetheless, for consistency's sake.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
