Yes, this setting can be used to reduce effect of broadcast storms.

I knew you all dislike using sysfs. Still I had a hope you could accept
the dsa_net_device_to_dsa_port() function it the previous patch.
I feel it would be convenient to be able to add driver sysfs nodes in
private branches for own debug and fine tuning, without having to patch
the networking core.
