Ouch! I totally forgot that DSA switches have a common platform data
structure (struct dsa_chip_data), and each DSA driver does not have to
provide its own configuration structure. In this case, it looks like
the ath25 kernel part can be easily switched to the DSA
implementation.

Now I can see that the patch description does look misguided. And I
should say sorry for taking a while to figure that out.

If someone of maintainers already took this patch, then please update
the commit message. Or I will send the patch with the updated message
tomorrow.

Yes, that was perfectly clear from the first email :) I just wrongly
assumed that the mv88e6060 DSA driver can not be used with the
platform data. Now you have clearly shown that this is possible.
Thanks for this explanation!
