The MDIO address of the MT7530 and MT7531 switch ICs can be configured
using bootstrap pins. However, there are only 4 possible options for the
switch itself: 7, 15, 23 and 31. As in MediaTek's SDK the address of the
switch is wrongly stated in the device tree as 0 (while in reality it is
31), warn the user about such broken device tree and make a good guess
what was actually intended.

This is imporant also to not break compatibility with older Device Trees
as with commit 868ff5f4944a ("net: dsa: mt7530-mdio: read PHY address of
switch from device tree") the address in device tree will be taken into
account, while before it was hard-coded to 0x1f.

Only tested on BPi-R3 (with various deliberately broken DT) for now!

Changes since v2 [2]:
 - use macros instead of magic numbers
 - introduce helper functions
 - register new device on MDIO bus instead of messing with the address
   and schedule delayed_work to unregister the "wrong" device.
   This is a slightly different approach than suggested by Russell, but
   imho makes things much easier than keeping the "wrong" device and
   having to deal with keeping the removal of both devices linked.
 - improve comments

Changes since v1 [1]:
 - use FW_WARN as suggested.
 - fix build on net tree which doesn't have 'mdiodev' as member of the
   priv struct. Imho including this patch as fix makes sense to warn
   users about broken firmware, even if the change introducing the
   actual breakage is only present in net-next for now.

Fun code. Not seen anything like this before.

I'm not fond of the use of the non-standard term, MDIO address, instead of
"PHY Address" as described in 22.2.4.5.5 of IEEE Std 802.3-2022.

nit: the return statement lacks indentation

but also based on the comment, isn't it:

	return (round_down(phy_addr, MT7530_NUM_PORTS + 1) - 1)	& (PHY_MAX_ADDR - 1);

?

Yes, lacks an additional space to match the level of the first open parentheses.
I'll fix that in the next round.

The original, more complicated statement covers also the correct addresses,
ie. 31 -> 31, 7 -> 7, 15 -> 15, 23 -> 23. However, the function is never
called if the address is deemed correct, so that doesn't actually matter.

It's kinda difficult to decide whether it is more important to return
correct results also for values never used with the current code, or
have a slightly more readable and shorter function but with expectations
regarding the input values given by the caller.

Opinions?

To be clear I meant the line with "return", not the continuation line
starting with MT7530_NUM_PORTS

No strong opinion, but I do think "% PHY_MAX_ADDR" is superfluous, no?
The masking at the end with "& (PHY_MAX_ADDR - 1)" will take care of
truncation.

This seems like a whole lot of code just to auto-magically fix an issue 
that could be caught with a warning. I appreciate that most of these 
devices might be headless, and therefore having some attempt at getting 
functional networking goes a long way into allowing users to correct 
their mistakes.

My initial motivation was to preserve compatibility with existing broken
device trees.

I then had given up on it because nobody seemed to care, but have
resumed and completed the patch now that reverting the change taking the
address in DT into account became the only alternative.

In OpenWrt all device trees with broken switch MDIO address have been
fixed long ago... (and we always ship the DT along with the kernel, so
DT backward-compatibility doesn't play a role there)

Why is the device corresponding to the first print located at address 1f,
then 0?

Because mdio_device_register() in mt7530_reregister() runs with new_mdiodev
after dev_warn() runs with mdiodev.

I meant before. mdio_device_register() with the new_mdiodev argument is
called before dev_warn() is called with the mdiodev argument.
