This is not about laziness. This is before patch 2:

phylink_mac_ops :: mac_config() -> dsa_port_phylink_mac_config()
-> dsa_switch_ops :: phylink_mac_config() -> mt753x_phylink_mac_config()
    -> mt753x_mac_config()
       -> mt753x_info :: mac_port_config() -> mt7530_mac_config()
          -> mt7530_setup_port5()
    -> mt753x_pad_setup()
       -> mt753x_info :: pad_setup() -> mt7530_pad_clk_setup()

This is after:

phylink_mac_ops :: mac_config() -> dsa_port_phylink_mac_config()
-> dsa_switch_ops :: phylink_mac_config() -> mt753x_phylink_mac_config()
    -> mt753x_mac_config()
       -> mt753x_info :: mac_port_config() -> mt7530_mac_config()
          -> mt7530_setup_port5()
          -> mt7530_setup_port6()

Patch 2 does not move mt7530_setup_port6() to be called from
phylink_mac_ops :: mac_config(), it already is. There is no valid reason to
reorder the patches.

My response to Russell should've stated this instead of focusing on his
second sentence.
