The problem here was find a way to pass data from the dsa driver to the phy driver. In this specific case the phy driver is an internal phy present in the switch so it won't appear on anything else.
For internal PHYs, you are safe. But please keep in mind any RGMII
ports which the switch might have. Somebody could attach an external
PHY on such a port. So you should not return any flags for such ports.
