Hi Tobias

My comment last time was to statically allocated them at probe
time. Worse case scenario is each port is alone in a LAG. Pointless,
but somebody could configure it. In dsa_tree_setup_switches() you can
count the number of ports and then allocate an array, or while setting
up a port, add one more lag to the list of lags.
The allocation is allowed to sleep (have not checked the calling context
of dsa_lag_get() whether this is OK) so what would be the upside of
doing upfront dsa_lag allocation which could be wasteful?
