Maybe we should put this macro into a shared location because
in "net/dsa/tag_lan9303.c" there is already a "#define LAN9303_MAX_PORTS
3".

Is there any suitable shared location for such driver specific
definitions?
I could change the name to LAN9303_MAX_PORTS so it the same.
Rhymes better with DSA_MAX_PORTS too.

Hi Egil, Juergen

The other tag drivers do:

if (source_port >= ds->num_ports || !ds->ports[source_port].netdev)
return NULL;

or just

if (!ds->ports[port].netdev)
return NULL;

The first version is the safest, since a malicious switch could return
port 42, and you are accessing way off the end of ds->ports[]. It does
however require you call dsa_switch_alloc() with the correct number of
ports.


Sounds like a plan for a later patch, when changing to dsa_switch_alloc(LAN9303_NUM_PORTS)
