Since the DSA conversion from the ds->ports array into the dst->ports
list, the DSA API has encouraged driver writers, as well as the core
itself, to write inefficient code.
Currently, code that wants to filter by a specific type of port when
iterating, like {!unused, user, cpu, dsa}, uses the dsa_is_*_port helper.
Under the hood, this uses dsa_to_port which iterates again through
dst->ports. But the driver iterates through the port list already, so
the complexity is quadratic for the typical case of a single-switch
tree.
This patch introduces some iteration helpers where the iterator is
already a struct dsa_port *dp, so that the other variant of the
filtering functions, dsa_port_is_{unused,user,cpu_dsa}, can be used
directly on the iterator. This eliminates the second lookup.
These functions can be used both by the core and by drivers.

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.
