Nope, last_switch does not contain the total number of switches
registered, but the index of the last switch in this tree. DSA does not
assume that the indices are consecutive.

If you make any assumption in the driver regarding switch numbering in a
cascade setup, it is an assumption that a device tree writer who is not
you needs to know about. So you must document it in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/dsa/microchip,lan937x.yaml.

Also nope, see the comment on patch 1.
