The switch listens at a particular address on the MDIO bus, that is the 
key thing. Whether the addressable device happens to be an 
Ethernet/SATA/PCIe/USB PHY, an accelerometer, a light switch or an 
Ethernet switch does not matter as long as it is addressable over clause 
22 and/or 45. For all that matters the switch's MDIO interface is not a 
PHY, otherwise its registers 0-15 would be abiding by the IEEE 
802.3-2022 standard, and that is not the case.

IMHO it is clearer to use mdiodev->addr through and through, the 
shorthand is not necessary and does not save that many characters to 
type in the first place. Saving a mdiodev pointer into mt7530_priv and 
accessing priv->mdiodev->addr would be 18 characters to type versus 14 
with priv->phy_addr.

Anyway.
