/me slowly wonders if the culprit should be reverted for now (see below)
and should be reapplied later together with the matching changes from
Arınç ÜNAL.

In that case: can you maybe help Frank with writing something better or
submit something based on this patch to resolve this and make everyone
happy?

Then I guess we need some other way to resolve this in mainline to unfix
Frank's device. The two obvious options are afaics:
* revert the culprit (868ff5f4944aa9 ("net: dsa: mt7530-mdio: read PHY
address of switch from device tree")) and reapply it in a later cycle
* apply Frank's patch (or an improved one) in this thread (and if needed
revert it when some better changes emerge.
Arınç ÜNAL, could you please comment on that and ideally handle the
necessary tasks, as it's your patch that causes the regression.
