[PATCH net] net: dsa: mt7530: fix impossible MDIO address and issue warning

The MDIO address of the MT7530 and MT7531 switch ICs can be configured
using bootstrap pins. However, there are only 4 possible options for the
switch itself: 7, 15, 23 and 31 (ie. only 3 and 4 can be configured, bit
0~2 are always 111). Practically all boards known as of today use the
default setting which is to have the switch respond to address 31, while
the built-in switch PHYs respond to address 0~4 in this case.

However, even in MediaTek's SDK the address of the switch is wrongly
stated in the device trees as 0 (while in reality it is 31), so warn the
user about such broken device tree and make a good guess what was
actually intended.

This is imporant to not break compatibility with older Device Trees as
with commit 868ff5f4944a ("net: dsa: mt7530-mdio: read PHY address of
switch from device tree") the address in device tree will be taken into
account. Doing so instead of assuming the switch is always at
address 31 which was previously hard-coded will obviously break things
for many existing downstream device trees as they contain the wrong
address (0) which previously didn't matter.
