I mean, like Documentation/networking/dsa/configuration.rst says, that the user can attempt
to put the DSA masters in a LAG and create a larger DSA master which is that bonding device.

The difference from the Felix driver is that Felix supports LAG DSA masters and this driver doesn't.

I don't believe there is any other restriction in the code which would prevent a driver which
implements port_change_master() from accepting that as a valid configuration, so it's going to
be the mt7530 driver who acts as the final frontier in this case.

An "if (netif_is_lag_master(master)) return -EOPNOTSUPP" will do. But it would always be good
to check if it's really needed :)
