You're right. I misinterpreted what Rob suggested, so the commit message
isn't correct. I see now that reg applies to every port, but is only
restricted for CPU ports (if: required: [ ethernet ]).  I'll clean this
message up.

Agreed. My gut is telling me this wants to be in a separate patch from
the generic DSA base definitions patch... but I can't say why for
certain. I'll plan to move these to the patch you suggest and add a comment
in there about how the type, description, and unevaluatedProperties of
mediatek,mt7530 is no longer needed as a result? Keep this patch as more
of a "restrict custom port description to CPU ports only" patch?

I also see that ("dt-bindings: net: dsa: mediatek,mt7530: remove unnecessary
dsa-port reference") should probably be earlier in this patch set. I'll
plan to move that earlier in the series, before  ("dt-bindings: net: dsa:
utilize base definitions for standard dsa switches").

I greatly appreciate your help and feedback!
