Hi Jakub

It is the DSA core layer which takes care of that creating/not
creating netdevs. The switch should declare all the ports it has.

There has been issues with the ksz collection of drivers having
different meanings for port_cnt. There recently was some changes in
this area, maybe it broke something?
