I must be missing something.

Just so you know, I intend to remove this whole PHY muxing feature once I
bring changing DSA conduit support to this subdriver. I've got two strong
reasons for this.

- Changing the DSA conduit achieves the same result with the only overhead
   being the DSA header included on every frame.

- There can't be proper dt-bindings for it as the nature of the feature
   shows that it represents an optional way to operate the hardware, it does
   not represent a hardware design. Overall, the implementation is a hack to
   make it work for specific hardware (switch must be connected to gmac1 of
   a MediaTek SoC, no PHY must be present at address 0 or 4 on the MDIO bus
   of the SoC. It should rather be configurable on userspace. Which will
   never happen as it is specific to this switch and the changing DSA
   conduit feature is the perfect substitute for this.

Let me know if you've got any suggestions that can get rid of the warning
without reworking the whole code block. Otherwise, I'm just going to ignore
it until I get rid of the whole code block.
