Just for future reference, the netdev process is to mark patch sets such
as this one with "PATCH net" since they fix a packaging problem with an
rc kernel. There's more information about this in
Documentation/process/maintainer-netdev.rst.

Do we need to create a Makefile for the selftests symlinked by DSA in
tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/dsa/, for the symlinks to be
installed, or how do you see this?

The reason why I created the symlinks was to make use of the custom
forwarding.config provided there, and also to reduce the clutter a bit
and only focus on the selftests I felt were relevant for DSA for now.
