I tried using this in the air_en8811h driver and started wondering if I
have misunderstood something.

The problem I have is that fwnode_property_count_u32() returns -EINVAL
if props_title is missing.  So if you have a node with the legacy
"airoha,pnswap-rx" property instead of "rx-polarity", or more common: no
polariy property at all, then we see -EINVAL returned from
phy_get_rx_polarity().  Which is propagated back to config_init() and
the phy fails to attach.  That can't be the intention?

The behaviour I expected is described by this test:


/* Test: tx-polarity property is missing */
static void phy_test_tx_polarity_is_missing(struct kunit *test)
{
	static const struct property_entry entries[] = {
		{}
	};
	struct fwnode_handle *node;
	unsigned int val;
	int ret;

	node = fwnode_create_software_node(entries, NULL);
	KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, node);

	ret = phy_get_manual_tx_polarity(node, "sgmi", &val);
	KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, ret, 0);
	KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, val, PHY_POL_NORMAL);

	fwnode_remove_software_node(node);
}
