The ksz driver has bits and pieces of platform_data probing support, but it doesn't work. The conventional thing to do is to have an encapsulating structure for struct dsa_chip_data that gets put into dev->platform_data. This driver expects a struct ksz_platform_data, but that doesn't contain a struct dsa_chip_data as first element, which will obviously not work with dsa_switch_probe() -> dsa_switch_parse(). Pointing dev->platform_data to a struct dsa_chip_data directly is in principle possible, but that doesn't work either. The driver has ksz_switch_detect() to read the device ID from hardware, followed by ksz_check_device_id() to compare it against a predetermined expected value. This protects against early errors in the SPI/I2C communication. With platform_data, the mechanism in ksz_check_device_id() doesn't work and even leads to NULL pointer dereferences, since of_device_get_match_data() doesn't work in that probe path. So obviously, the platform_data support is actually missing, and the existing handling of struct ksz_platform_data is bogus. Complete the support by adding a struct dsa_chip_data as first element, and fixing up ksz_check_device_id() to pick up the platform_data instead of the unavailable of_device_get_match_data(). The early dev->chip_id assignment from ksz_switch_register() is also bogus, because ksz_switch_detect() sets it to an initial value. So remove it. Also, ksz_platform_data :: enabled_ports isn't used anywhere, delete it.

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.
