So this option essentially allow us to "partition" the switch between
vectors of ports and their upstream/CPU port.

While using Device Tree is an obvious choice for making the initial
partitioning, it seems like we are missing a configuration mechanism
whereby we can properly assign ports to a specific upstream CPU port.

Let's move the actual discussion into patch 2 in order not to pollute
the DT maintainers' inbox.
