Since this is threaded interrupt context, I suppose it could race with
dsa_port_bridge_leave(). So it is best to check whether "brport" is NULL
or not.
Would something like:
if (dsa_is_unused_port(chip->ds, port))
        return -ENODATA;

be appropriate and sufficient for that?
static inline
struct net_device *dsa_port_to_bridge_port(const struct dsa_port *dp)
{
	if (!dp->bridge)
		return NULL;

	if (dp->lag)
		return dp->lag->dev;
	else if (dp->hsr_dev)
		return dp->hsr_dev;

	return dp->slave;
}

Notice the "dp->bridge" check. The assignments are in dsa_port_bridge_create()
and in dsa_port_bridge_destroy(). These functions assume rtnl_mutex protection.
The question was how do you serialize with that, and why do you assume
that dsa_port_to_bridge_port() returns non-NULL.

So no, dsa_is_unused_port() would do absolutely nothing to help.
