My dts-foo is a little rusty, but now that you labeled the ports in the
.dtsi, can this whole "switch0" block reduced to something like:

&switch0port1 {
label = "lan1";
};

&switch0port3 {
label = "wan";
};

Probably yes.

But that is definitely too much for stable.

Yes, this suggested change is not for stable, but looks like a nice
cleanup. So it could be done in followup patch.

Andre, are you going to prepare and test this followup change?

I can prep the patch if you like, but the suggested cleanup only affects the
v7 dts files. I don't have that hardware version to test it, so could only
send an untested patch.

As a result of this cleanup should be binary DTB file for V7 with same
structure as DTB file without such cleanup patch, right? And this test
(structure / content of compiled file) does not need particular hardware.

Ok, will do.
