Currently the ocelot switch lib is unaware of the index of a struct ocelot_port, since that is kept in the encapsulating structures of outer drivers (struct dsa_port :: index, struct ocelot_port_private :: chip_port). With the upcoming increase in complexity associated with assigning DSA tag_8021q CPU ports to certain user ports, it becomes necessary for the switch lib to be able to retrieve the index of a certain ocelot_port. Therefore, introduce a new u8 to ocelot_port (same size as the chip_port used by the ocelot switchdev driver) and rework the existing code to populate and use 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.
