From: Vivien Didelot vivien.didelot@savoirfairelinux.com

[ Upstream commit 3a89eaa65db68bf53bf92dedc60084f810e1779a ]

The support for DSA Ethernet switch chips depends on TCP/IP networking, thus explicit that HAVE_NET_DSA depends on INET.

DSA uses SWITCHDEV, thus select it instead of depending on it.
