Yes that was sloppy of me, I'll rephrase.

Strictly speaking, no - it was just to illustrate...

... this point, i.e. a clear example of why learning can't be disabled
on DSA ports.

Are you saying you want me to replace the initial paragraph with your
version, or are you saying the the example is convoluted and should be
replaced by this text? Or is it only for the benefit of other readers?

As you discovered, and as I tried to lay out in the cover, this is only
one part of the whole solution.

Because dp refers to the port we are determining the permissions _for_,
and ds refers to the chip we are configuring the PVT _on_.

I think other_dp and dp should swap names with each other. Because it is
very easy to get confused. Or maybe s/dp/remote_dp/ and s/other_dp/dp/?
