Andrew,

I should have mentioned in the commit log that this does not change
behavior on Linux but is required for boot firmware. Specifically
U-Boot requires the internal PHY ports to be defined for its DSA
architecture and they share dt's as much as possible.

No, it looks like this:

&fec {
        pinctrl-names = "default";
        pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_enet>;
        phy-mode = "rgmii-id";
        status = "okay";

        fixed-link {
                speed = <1000>;
                full-duplex;
        };

        mdio {
                #address-cells = <1>;
                #size-cells = <0>;

                switch at 0 {
                        compatible = "marvell,mv88e6085";
                        reg = <0>;
...

Is something here wrong?

Best Regards,

Tim
