This is because of the need (or desire) to always tag the CPU port
regardless of the untagged VLAN that one of its downstream port is being
added to. Despite talking with Matthew about this before, I had not
realized that dsa_port_is_cpu() will return true for ports 4 and 5 when
a VLAN is added to one of the two QCA8337 switches because from the
perspective of that switch, those ports have been set as DSA_PORT_TYPE_CPU.

This may also mean that b53_setup() needs fixing as well while it
iterates over the ports of the switch though I am not sure how we could
fix that yet.

How about this:
