Vladimir Oltean 258030acc9 net: dsa: make dsa_switch :: num_ports an unsigned int
Currently, num_ports is declared as size_t, which is defined as
__kernel_ulong_t, therefore it occupies 8 bytes of memory.

Even switches with port numbers in the range of tens are exotic, so
there is no need for this amount of storage.

Additionally, because the max_num_bridges member right above it is also
4 bytes, it means the compiler needs to add padding between the last 2
fields. By reducing the size, we don't need that padding and can reduce
the struct size.

Before:

pahole -C dsa_switch net/dsa/slave.o
struct dsa_switch {
        struct device *            dev;                  /*     0     8 */
        struct dsa_switch_tree *   dst;                  /*     8     8 */
        unsigned int               index;                /*    16     4 */

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
