[ Upstream commit 473baeab929444295b0530f8766e4becb6a08973 ]
When redescribing ports I assumed that missing "label" (like "cpu")
means switch port isn't used. That was incorrect and I realized my
change made Linux always use the first (5) CPU port (there are 3 of
them).
While above should technically be possible it often isn't correct:
1. Non-default switch ports are often connected to Ethernet interfaces
not fully covered by vendor setup (they may miss MACs)
2. On some devices non-default ports require specifying fixed link
This fixes network connectivity for some devices. It was reported &
tested for Netgear R8000. It also affects Linksys EA9200 with its
downstream DTS.
Fixes: ba4aebce23b2 ("ARM: dts: BCM5301X: Describe switch ports in the main DTS")

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.
