Please use devm_of_mdiobus_register if you're going to use
devm_mdiobus_alloc, or no devres at all.

Sure, Will change it to devm_of_mdiobus_register.

What does the CPU port have so special that you override it here?
Again some compatibility with out-of-tree DT bindings?

Device strapping method cannot be used since the phy-mode is expected
to be present in the DT. So above assignment have to be removed along
with lan937x_get_interface function.

These bindings are new. Given that you also document their min and max
values, why don't you just error out on out-of-range values instead of
silently doing what you think is going to be fine?
Sure, i think the driver can also notify rx/tx internal delay applied
message using dev_info.
