Hummm....

ti.cpsw is not a DSA switch. So this binding should not apply to
it. It is a plain switchdev switch.

The qcom,ipq806 is just an MDIO bus master. The DSA binding might
apply, for a specific .dts file, if that dts file has a DSA switch on
the bus. But in general, it should not apply.

So i actually think you need to work out why this binding is being
applied when it should not be.

I suspect it is the keyword 'switch'. switch does not imply it is a
DSA switch. There are other sorts of switches as well.
