The assignments are in dsa_port_bridge_create() and in dsa_port_bridge_destroy(). These functions assume rtnl_mutex protection. The question was how do you serialize with that, and why do you assume that dsa_port_to_bridge_port() returns non-NULL. So no, dsa_is_unused_port() would do absolutely nothing to help.
