Documentation: networking: dsa: mention that the master is brought up automatically

when opening user port"), DSA manages the administrative status of the
host port automatically. Update the configuration steps to reflect this.

@ -34,8 +34,15 @@ interface. The CPU port is the switch port connected to an Ethernet MAC chip.
The corresponding linux Ethernet interface is called the master interface.
All other corresponding linux interfaces are called slave interfaces.
The slave interfaces depend on the master interface. They can only brought up,
when the master interface is up.
The slave interfaces depend on the master interface being up in order for them
to send or receive traffic. Prior to kernel v5.12, the state of the master
interface had to be managed explicitly by the user. Starting with kernel v5.12,
the behavior is as follows:
- when a DSA slave interface is brought up, the master interface is
automatically brought up.
- when the master interface is brought down, all DSA slave interfaces are
automatically brought down.
In this documentation the following Ethernet interfaces are used:
