O.K, i see what you are trying to achieve, it makes sense, but sorry,
NACK.

There is however a nice solution :-)

If you look in net-next, you will notice a big change to DSA. There is
a new binding, and the mv88e6xxx driver now exports the switch
internal MDIO bus just like any other MDIO bus. So you can have a phy
on the MDIO bus, and that phy can have "marvell,reg-init" properties.
