The KSZ9131RNX driver needs to implement some LED methods, like
.led_brightness_set(), .led_blink_set(), .led_hw_is_supported(),
.led_hw_control_set(), .led_hw_control_get().

Look for example at marvell.c driver, or broadcom.c.

Regarding DTS, look at linux/arch/arm/boot/dts/marvell/armada-370-rd.dts.
The ethernet-phy@0 node has leds subnode, describing the LEDs.
