Sure, how does this sound:

These switches trap frames to the CPU port that is affine to the user 
port from which the frames are received.

Yes but it's not the affinity we set here. It's to enable the CPU port 
for trapping.

I meant to say, since I already explained at the start of the patch log 
that this patch changes the bits of the CPU port bitmap for MT7531 and 
the switch on the MT7988 SoC, only MT7531 is affected as there's only a 
single CPU port on the switch on the MT7988 SoC. So the switch on the 
MT7988 SoC cannot be affected.

Any frames set for trapping to CPU port will be trapped to the CPU port 
that is affine to the user port from which the frames are received.
