At some point we should enforce the rule that new drivers for switch
SoCs with complex peripherals should use MFD and move all non-networking
peripherals to drivers handled by their respective subsystems.

I don't have the expertise to review a nvmem driver, and the majority of
them are in drivers/nvmem, with a dedicated subsystem and maintainer.
In general I want to make sure it is clear that I don't encourage the
model where DSA owns the entire mdio_device.

What other peripherals are there on this SoC other than an MDIO bus and
an EFUSE? IRQCHIP, GPIOs, LED controller, sensors?

You can take a look at drivers/mfd/ocelot* and
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/mscc,ocelot.yaml for an example on
how to use mfd for the top-level MDIO device, and DSA as just the driver
for the Ethernet switch component (which will be represented as a
platform_device).
