Would it make more sense to update the driver instead ? I doubt you
could have more than 256 ports on this device after all.


I guess there's a bunch of devicetrees already out there using the
(misdocumented) 32-bit array binding, they'd break in a bad way...

I think it is the other way around -- if the binding was documented as
u8, then the existing DTs should use the u8 type if they are compliant
to the binding document.

I see one board in next which uses this property and sets it to 0 , so
this one is not affected either way:
arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mq-zii-ultra-rmb3.dts:
swap-dx-lanes = <0>;


First of all, the original binding did not define it as u8. It actually
skipped the type entirely but:
  - Example shown u32,
  - Driver used u32,
  - In-tree user uses u32 (although as pointed - as 0 so not really
relevant).

Thus the ABI is rather defined by not-breaking users here, so I would
stick to fixing it to u32.

Fine by me.
