Please ignore above mib counters. I noticed that I see lot of RxFCSErrors
and RxSymbolErrors for extswitch. The count for both counters always
remain same.

I'm able to now use sw0port8 <-> eth2 (i.e use cpu port 8 to connect to gmac2).
For this I had to modify net/dsa/b53/b53_common.c (see below). This is how
it is setup in net/phy/b53/b53_common.c. Also need to set
cpu_port = B53_CPU_PORT for 53012 sw instead of B53_CPU_PORT_25

Given that I see RxFCSErrors and RxSymbolErrors errors wrt extswitch.
configuration definitely needs tweaking. I tried setting the phy-mode to
rgmii and rgmii-txid but no go.
