Since ("net: dsa: Add new binding implementation"), DSA is no longer a platform device exclusively and can support registering DSA switches from other bus drivers (PCI, USB, I2C, etc.). Signed-off-by:

		Design limitations
		==================

		DSA is a platform device driver
		-------------------------------

		DSA is implemented as a DSA platform device driver which is convenient because
		it will register the entire DSA switch tree attached to a master network device
		in one-shot, facilitating the device creation and simplifying the device driver
		model a bit, this comes however with a number of limitations:

		- building DSA and its switch drivers as modules is currently not working
		- the device driver parenting does not necessarily reflect the original
		bus/device the switch can be created from
		- supporting non-MDIO and non-MMIO (platform) switches is not possible

		Limits on the number of devices and ports
		-----------------------------------------
