PHYLIB and PHYLINK handle fixed-link interfaces differently. PHYLIB
wraps them in a software PHY ("pseudo fixed link") phydev construct such
that .adjust_link driver callbacks see an unified API. Whereas PHYLINK
simply creates a phylink_link_state structure and passes it to
.mac_config.
At the time the driver was introduced, DSA was using PHYLIB for the
CPU/cascade ports (the ones with no net devices) and PHYLINK for
everything else.
As explained below:

net: dsa: Plug in PHYLINK support
Drivers that utilize fixed links for user-facing ports (e.g: bcm_sf2)
will need to implement phylink_mac_ops from now on to preserve
functionality, since PHYLINK *does not* create a phy_device instance
for fixed links.
In the above patch, DSA guards the .phylink_mac_config callback against
a NULL phydev pointer. Therefore, .adjust_link is not called in case of
a fixed-link user port.
This patch fixes the situation by converting the driver from using
.adjust_link to .phylink_mac_config. This can be done now in a unified
fashion for both slave and CPU/cascade ports because DSA now uses
PHYLINK for all ports.
