Quoting from commit 4223f8651287 ("net: dsa: mt7530: make NET_DSA_MT7530
select MEDIATEK_GE_PHY"):
Make MediaTek MT753x DSA driver enable MediaTek Gigabit PHYs driver to
properly control MT7530 and MT7531 switch PHYs.
A noticeable change is that the behaviour of switchport interfaces going
up-down-up-down is no longer there.
Now, the switch can be used without the PHYs but, at the moment, every
hardware design out there that I have seen uses them. For that, it would
make the most sense to force the selection of MEDIATEK_GE_PHY for the MDIO
interface which currently controls the MT7530 and MT7531 switches.

I see MEDIATEK_GE_PHY only depends on NETDEVICES && PHYLIB, so it should
have no problem being directly selected by a driver without breaking the
build by causing unmet dependencies.
I also see there is precedent with CONFIG_TXGBE selecting
MARVELL_10G_PHY, CONFIG_R8169 selecting REALTEK_PHY, and others.
