I asked you to break this patch up. I want to see lots of little
patches, each with a good commit messages, each obviously correct.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainer-netdev.html

says you can have a patch series of up to 15 patches.

What did i say about this in my last review? This would make a good,
simple patch, changing all YT921X_PORT_NUM to priv->series_info->ports.

You first need a simple patch which adds struct yt92xx_series and
yt92xx_series_table[] with very minimal contents, only mode and name,
for the existing device. And add the code to do the lookup and
associate it to priv.

Then you can have a patch which adds .ports, and changes all
YT921X_PORT_NUM to priv->series_info->ports.

Then you can add .num_lag_ids and change all those references.

Then you can add .ageing_time_FOO and change all those references.

Slowly make the existing code more generic by adding to struct
yt92xx_series.
