As I mentioned, I doubt that Andrew considers this "broken DT" as he's been promoting this as a standard DSA feature.

Yes, phylink accepts "phy" and "phy-device" because it has to for compatibility with other drivers, but the binding document for DSA quite clearly states that "phy-handle" is what DSA accepts, so DT in the kernel will be validated against the yaml file and enforce correctness here. We do need to check for "sfp" being present as well.

I think it would be easier to omit the phy-mode property in the swnode if it isn't present in DT, because then we can handle that in dsa_port_phylink_create() as I've done in my patch series via the ds->ops->phylink_get_caps() method.

+ port_props[0] = PROPERTY_ENTRY_U32("reg", dp->index);You said in one of your other replies that this node we're constructing is only for phylink, do we need the "reg" property? phylink doesn't care about it. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up.
