The MT7531 switch listens on PHY address 0x1f on an MDIO bus. I've got two
findings that support this. There's no bootstrapping option to change the
PHY address of the switch. The Linux driver hardcodes 0x1f as the PHY
address of the switch. So the reg property on the device tree is currently
ignored by the Linux driver.

Therefore, describe the correct PHY address on boards that have this
switch. This is already the case on all MT7986 boards here, so use
hexadecimal numbering and align the switch node name with the reg value.

Sorry for the late reply to this series which I had not noticed earlier.
My comment below applies for the whole series.

While this is generally correct, you are mixing cosmetic with functional
changes here.

Replacing
reg = <31>;
with
reg = <0x1f>;
is a purely cosmetic change (and it's up to maintainers taste to like
one or the other notation more).

On the other hand replacing
switch@0 or switch@31
with
switch@1f
is fixing a bug. Yet even that doesn't have any functional impact on the
affected boards as there aren't any other DT nodes which would collide
with that incorrect address, nor does the driver actually care about the
node name (not before and not after your patch
"net: dsa: mt7530-mdio: read PHY address of switch from device tree").
Anyway, there *is* something wrong and everybody should agree it's a
good thing to fix it.

So imho you should start with a patch only replacing all instances of
mt7530/mt7531 switch nodes named 'switch@0' or 'switch@31' with
'switch@1f' as that's fixing an actual (minor) bug.

The other thing, using hexadecimal notation for the 'reg' property is
a mere matter of (statistically unusual) taste. I fully get the point
that using hexdecimal for both, the address in the node name as well
as the 'reg' property avoids the exact divergence of the two you are
fixing now.

Byt statistically unusual I mean:
$ find -name \*.dts\* | while read line; do grep 'reg.*=.*<[0-9]*>' $line ; done | wc -l
37284
$ find -name \*.dts\* | while read line; do grep 'reg.*=.*<0x[0-9a-fA-F]*>' $line ; done | wc -l
10339

(I know the above regexp could be done more accurately, but it's good
enough to demonstrate my point)

So please make this four patches. Two fixing the wrong node names.
And another two opening the (purely cosmetic) debate to use hexademical
notation for the 'reg' property.


Cheers


Daniel
