This is quite interesting. Currently the PHY muxing feature for the 
MT7530 switch looks for some fake ethernet-phy definitions on the 
mdio-bus where the switch is also defined.

Looking at the binding here, there will be an mdio node under the switch 
node. This could be useful to define the ethernet-phys for PHY muxing 
here instead, so we don't waste the register addresses on the parent 
mdio-bus for fake things. It looks like this should work right out of 
the box. I will do some tests.

Are there any examples as to what to configure on the switch PHYs with 
this change?

Please set this property as false for mediatek,mt7988-switch as it 
doesn't use MDIO.
