cat: /sys/class/net/can0/phys_switch_id: Operation not supported
And we found this is triggered by the following stack. Specifically, all
netdev_ops in CAN drivers we can find now do not have ndo_get_port_parent_id and
ndo_get_devlink_port, which makes phys_switch_id_show return -EOPNOTSUPP all the
way back to vfs_copy_file_range.

According to the original commit log, this warning is for operational validity
checks to generic_copy_file_range(). The reading will eventually return as
not supported as printed above. But is this warning still necessary? If so we
might want to remove it to have a cleaner dmesg.
Thanks,
Zhe
