Apologies for the late review, the code is fine, but there is room for
improvement, see below:

This function does exactly the same check you are adding, which
indicates that you should create a common function, e.g:
dsa_port_setup_link_of() which internally does check whether the PHY is
fixed or not and does the registration.

Likewise, please rename dsa_port_fixed_link_unregister_of() into e.g:
dsa_port_teardown_link_of() and take care of the two cases.

The rest of the changes do look okay to me.

Note: there is still technically a misreprentation of how the PHY is
"attached" to the network device. In your DTSes, you have to have the
CPU port have a "phy-handle" to the internal PHY, while technically it
should be the i210 which has a "phy-handle" property to that PHY, and
even better, if the e1000e/idb drivers were PHYLIB capable, they could
manage it directly.

Since this is a link, which has two ends, it is probably acceptable to
make that shortcut with lack of a better solution.
