net: dsa: motorcomm: use max_ports in series for port bounds checking

This replaces the hardcoded YT921X_PORT_NUM in the internal MDIO bus port
checks and in the phy_mask computation with priv->series->max_ports, so the
common code no longer carries a family-specific port count.

[Severity: Medium]

These new users of priv->series depend on the chip-ID read that fills it in,
and that read looks like it now runs without priv->reg_lock held.

In yt92xx_register_switch():

res = yt921x_reg_read(priv, YT921X_CHIP_ID, &chipid);
if (res)
return res;

major = FIELD_GET(YT921X_CHIP_ID_MAJOR, chipid);
series = yt92xx_series_lookup(major);

and in drivers/net/dsa/motorcomm/smi.c:

int yt921x_reg_read(struct yt921x_priv *priv, u32 reg, u32 *valp)
{
lockdep_assert_held_once(&priv->reg_lock);

return priv->reg_ops->read(priv->reg_ctx, reg, valp);
}

Does this trip the lockdep assertion on every probe with
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING enabled? The only caller is yt921x_mdio_probe(), which
does mutex_init(&priv->reg_lock) before yt92xx_register_switch(ds) but never
takes it, so the multi-transaction SMI access also runs outside the mutex
that chip.h describes as "protect the access to the switch registers".

Before this series the chip-ID read happened under the lock, via
yt921x_dsa_setup():

mutex_lock(&priv->reg_lock);
res = yt921x_chip_reset(priv);
mutex_unlock(&priv->reg_lock);

which reached yt921x_chip_detect(). The move into the unlocked probe path
came with "net: dsa: motorcomm: initialize dsa_switch based on chipid", and
the end of the series still has no mutex_lock() in
yt92xx_register_switch().

Would wrapping the yt921x_reg_read() in yt92xx_register_switch() with
mutex_lock(&priv->reg_lock)/mutex_unlock(&priv->reg_lock) be the intended
fix here?
