may have previously configured. The method responsible for undoing any
applicable allocations or operations done here is ``teardown``.
+- ``port_setup`` and ``port_teardown``: methods for initialization and
+ destruction of per-port data structures. It is mandatory for some operations
+ such as registering and unregistering devlink port regions to be done from
+ these methods, otherwise they are optional. A port will be torn down only if
+ it has been previously set up. It is possible for a port to be set up during
+ probing only to be torn down immediately afterwards, for example in case its
+ PHY cannot be found. In this case, probing of the DSA switch continues
+ without that particular port.
