Bug Description
The DSA transport is experimental. By policy it should not be built-in. The dependent hardware modules in drivers/net/dsa will load the transport as a result of udev probing. Finally, this is pretty esoteric and rare hardware, so is unlikely to cause any issues with a normal desktop or server.
