net: dsa: sja1105: break dependency between dsa_port_is_sja1105 and switch driver
It's nice to be able to test a tagging protocol with dsa_loop, but not at the cost of losing the ability of building the tagging protocol and switch driver as modules, because as things stand, there is a circular dependency between the two. Tagging protocol drivers cannot depend on switch drivers, that is a hard fact. The reasoning behind the blamed patch was that accessing dp->priv should first make sure that the structure behind that pointer is what we really think it is. Currently the "sja1105" and "sja1110" tagging protocols only operate with the sja1105 switch driver, just like any other tagging protocol and switch combination. The only way to mix and match them is by modifying the code, and this applies to dsa_loop as well (by default that uses DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE). So while in principle there is an issue, in practice there isn't one. Until we extend dsa_loop to allow user space configuration, treat the problem as a non-issue and just say that DSA ports found by tag_sja1105 are always sja1105 ports, which is in fact true. But keep the dsa_port_is_sja1105 function so that it's easy to patch it during testing, and rely on dead code elimination.
