net: dsa: use more appropriate NET_NAME_* constants for user ports
The intention of commit 685343fc3b ("net: add name_assign_type
netdev attribute") was clearly that drivers be switched over one by
one to select appropriate NET_NAME_* constants instead of
NET_NAME_UNKNOWN. This small series attempts to do that for DSA user
ports.
This is obviously and intentionally user-visible changes, so there's a
small chance that it could lead to a regression. To make it easy to
revert either of the "label in DT" and "fallback to eth%d" changes,
this is done as a refactoring which shouldn't introduce any functional
change (but by itself adds code which looks a little odd, with the two
identical assignments in the two branches), followed by changing the
constant used in each case in two different patches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
