I am not saying qca8k_read_switch_id() should do anything more than
reading the switch id. I am saying why can't qca8k_read_switch_id()
already find priv->info be pre-populated, just like any other function.
Why don't you set priv->info a lot earlier, see below.

Also note how the "Switch id detected ... but expected ..." message
lacks a trailing \n.

Yea, I was still kinda reviewing v3... Anyway, now you'll have to wait
for me to finish my v3 feedback on the v4, and then send the v5 after at
least 24 more hours.
