But will this tell us if is also configured to use the IMP port?

Regardless of that, depending on how you register the switch we could
pass platform data to b53 - b53 already allows overriding the port
mask from the platform data, so you could then just pass 0x13f as the
port mask. The phy driver would just need updating to detect and use
the platform data.
