Whatever you do, please use a common pattern for all of ksz9477, ksz8,
and your lan937x. This includes validation of chip id, placement of the
chip_data and dev_ops structures, and reuse as much logic as possible.
The key is to limit the chip-specific information to structured data
(tables) wherever possible and let common code deal with them.
For example there is no reason why struct ksz_chip_data is redefined for
every switch, why copying from "chip" to "dev" is duplicated for every
switch, and yet, why every other switch copies from "chip" to "dev" in
the "switch_init" function yet lan937x does it from "check_device_id".
So much boilerplate, yet different in subtle ways, makes the code very
unpleasant to review.
I'm sure you'll find a straightforward way to code up a probing function.

So you call lan937x_reset_switch() as the first thing in ds->ops->setup(),
and this momentarily breaks the earlier MDIO bus setup done from probe
-> ksz_switch_register() -> dev_ops->init().
So why don't you move the lan937x_enable_spi_indirect_access() and
lan937x_mdio_register() calls to ds->ops->setup(), _after_ the switch
soft reset, then?
