dsa: remove limitation of switch index value") and ab8ccae122 ("net:
dsa: add ports list in the switch fabric"), this is basically no longer
true.

Design limitations
==================
Limits on the number of devices and ports
-----------------------------------------
DSA currently limits the number of maximum switches within a tree to 4
(``DSA_MAX_SWITCHES``), and the number of ports per switch to 12 (``DSA_MAX_PORTS``).
These limits could be extended to support larger configurations would this need
arise.

Other hanging fruits

- making the number of ports fully dynamic and not dependent on ``DSA_MAX_PORTS``
