As MT7530 and MT7531 internally use 32-bit wide registers, each access to any register of the switch requires several operations on the MDIO bus. Hence if there is congruent access, e.g. due to PCS or PHY polling, this can mess up and interfere with another ongoing register access sequence. However, the MDIO bus mutex is only relevant for MDIO-connected switches. Prepare switches which have there registers directly mapped into the SoCs register space via MMIO which do not require such locking. There we can simply use regmap's default locking mechanism. Hence guard mutex operations to only be performed in case of MDIO connected switches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
