-  For standalone MT7530:
+  Port 5 on MT7530 has got various ways of configuration:
 
     - Port 5 can be used as a CPU port.
 
-    - PHY 0 or 4 of the switch can be muxed to connect to the gmac of the SoC
-      which port 5 is wired to. Usually used for connecting the wan port
-      directly to the CPU to achieve 2 Gbps routing in total.
+    - PHY 0 or 4 of the switch can be muxed to gmac5 of the switch. Therefore,
+      the gmac of the SoC which is wired to port 5 can connect to the PHY.
+      This is usually used for connecting the wan port directly to the CPU to
+      achieve 2 Gbps routing in total.
 
-      The driver looks up the reg on the ethernet-phy node which the phy-handle
-      property refers to on the gmac node to mux the specified phy.
+      The driver looks up the reg on the ethernet-phy node, which the phy-handle
+      property on the gmac node refers to, to mux the specified phy.
 
       The driver requires the gmac of the SoC to have "mediatek,eth-mac" as the
-      compatible string and the reg must be 1. So, for now, only gmac1 of an
+      compatible string and the reg must be 1. So, for now, only gmac1 of a
       MediaTek SoC can benefit this. Banana Pi BPI-R2 suits this.
-      Check out example 5 for a similar configuration.
-
-    - Port 5 can be wired to an external phy. Port 5 becomes a DSA slave.

       Check out example 5.
 
-    - In case of an external phy wired to gmac1 of the SoC, port 5 must not be
