Doesn't that basically boil down to the argument that "we can't merge this change because it's never going to be used, except for when it is used"? I don't know if I buy that. How about the inverse question: If this change is not acceptable, do you have any other suggestion on to solve it? The hardware is what it is, I can not will the source port information into existence, and injecting packets on the wrong DSA port feels even more dirty to me.
I suppose you're right, I don't have any better suggestion.
