Thank you Koen, it fixes the switch issue for my Archer C7 v4 too:

[    0.713675] switch0: Atheros AR8337 rev. 2 switch registered on ag71xx-mdio.0
[    1.432868] libphy: ag71xx_mdio: probed
[    2.066476] ag71xx ag71xx.0: connected to PHY at ag71xx-mdio.0:00

[    2.077962] eth0: Atheros AG71xx at 0xb9000000, irq 4, mode:SGMII

Now that the switch works I've noticed that the 5GHz wifi on my Archer
C7 v4 doesn't work with Kernel 4.14 enabled:
