Hi Daniel,

This patch removes the upstream DTS part for the switch:
target/linux/sunxi/patches-5.4/310-Revert-ARM-dts-sun7i-Add-BCM53125-switch-nodes-to-th.patch

I think you should remove it.

Currently the switch is broken, at least I saw multiple complains about 
this. Do you have the device and is the switch working? If so I would 
suggest to also backport this to 21.02 as it looks like the switch is 
not working in 21.01.
