Humm.

The same problem might exist in other drivers:

linux/drivers/net/dsa$ grep -r "ds->num_ports = DSA_MAX_PORTS"
qca8k.c:	priv->ds->num_ports = DSA_MAX_PORTS;
b53/b53_common.c:	ds->num_ports = DSA_MAX_PORTS;
mt7530.c:	priv->ds->num_ports = DSA_MAX_PORTS;
microchip/ksz_common.c:	ds->num_ports = DSA_MAX_PORTS;
dsa_loop.c:	ds->num_ports = DSA_MAX_PORTS;

dsa_loop.c looks O.K, it does support DSA_MAX_PORTS ports.

But the others?
