I believe this leaks np and the use case is not exactly clear to me
here. AFAICT the Northstar SoCs have two MDIO controllers: one for
internal PHYs and one for external PHYs which how you would attach a
switch to the chip (in chipcommonA). Is 53573 somewhat different here?
What is the MDIO bus driver that is being used?
