That fixes port 5 on certain variants of the MT7530 switch, as it was 
already working on the other variants, which, in conclusion, fixes port 
5 on all MT7530 variants.

And no, trapping works. Having only CPU port 5 defined on the devicetree 
will cause the CPU_PORT bits to be set to port 5. There's only a problem 
when multiple CPU ports are defined.

I don't see anything to change in the patch log except addressing 
Russell's comments.
