Yeah, I did request from the beginning for it to be moved to
include/net/dsa.h, but I didn't follow through with the request (I guess
I forgot):

Patchwork CI has loudly uncovered it and I've learned my lesson to
always test an all-y build when changing even the most innocent
looking things which technically may affect other drivers.
Since all DSA drivers are all in the same folder, technically you may be
excused if you just enable all those when working on infra, instead of
allyesconfig.
I'll move that function as-is, in a dedicated commit, to
include/net/dsa.h as an inline function instead of the helper
suggested here.

A second commit will introduce the new helper macro
dsa_switch_for_each_bridge_member (modified to use (struct net_device
*) as parameter instead of (struct dsa_bridge *), and make use of it
in dsa_bridge_ports().

I'm also planning to introduce dsa_bridge_for_each_member macro in
addition to that which works on (struct dsa_bridge *) and uses
dsa_switch_for_each_bridge_member.
I don't like the dsa_bridge_for_each_member() name. You are likely
not considering cross-chip bridging, where a bridge spans multiple
dsa_switch structures. That is also a serious reason why your
bridge->priv design is not viable (two switches can't lay their eggs
in the same basket without overwriting each other).
