priv->p5_interface and priv->p6_interface are for use on the MT7531 switch.
They prevent the CPU ports of MT7531 to be configured again. They are
useless for MT7530. Therefore, remove setting priv->p5_interface for
MT7530.

What makes priv->p5_interface and priv->p6_interface useless for MT7530
as you say? This code in mt753x_phylink_mac_config() seems executed
regardless of switch family:

	case 5:
		if (priv->p5_interface == state->interface)
			break;

		if (mt753x_mac_config(ds, port, mode, state) < 0)
			goto unsupported;

		if (priv->p5_intf_sel != P5_DISABLED)
			priv->p5_interface = state->interface;
		break;
	case 6:
		if (priv->p6_interface == state->interface)
			break;

		mt753x_pad_setup(ds, state);

		if (mt753x_mac_config(ds, port, mode, state) < 0)
			goto unsupported;

		priv->p6_interface = state->interface;
		break;

This is also useless for non-MT7531 switches in the sense that it
unnecessarily prevents port 5 and 6 from being reconfigured. There's
nothing wrong with configuring them multiple times. These are the remains
of before phylink was implemented on this driver so the thought of changing
phy_interface_t on the fly was non existent. At that time, it was probably
made to apply to all switch models for convenience, as port 5 and 6 are CPU
ports so they're highly likely to be fixed links.

The reason I don't deal with this code block now is because I will get rid
of priv->p5_interface and priv->p6_interface when I also get rid of
priv->info->cpu_port_config() with a later patch.
