Currently, the MT7530 DSA subdriver configures the MT7530 switch to provide
direct access to switch PHYs, meaning, the switch PHYs listen on the MDIO
bus the switch listens on. The PHY muxing feature makes use of this.
This is problematic as the PHY may be attached before the switch is
initialised, in which case, the PHY will fail to be attached.
Since commit 91374ba537bd ("net: dsa: mt7530: support OF-based registration
of switch MDIO bus"), we can describe the switch PHYs on the MDIO bus of
the switch on the device tree. Extend the check to detect PHY muxing when
the PHY is defined on the MDIO bus of the switch on the device tree.
When the PHY is described this way, the switch will be initialised first,
then the switch MDIO bus will be registered. Only after these steps, the
PHY will be attached.

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 reStructuredText 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.
