Arınç, where do you see that comment being added? AFAIU, it is a
characteristic of the generic __of_mdiobus_register() code to set
mdio->phy_mask = ~0, and nothing specific to the mt7530.

What I believe is specific to DSA is, 1:1 mapping of the port reg to the
PHY reg on the mdio bus is disabled if the mdio bus is defined. Therefore,
I believe a notice like below fits mediatek,mt7530.yaml.

In that case, putting the comment here would make more sense, no?
(and maybe enforcing an actual schema, but I've no idea how to do that)

Since commit fe7324b93222 ("net: dsa: OF-ware slave_mii_bus"), DSA as a
framework also supports auto-creating an internal MDIO bus based on the
presence of the "mdio" node name, so I guess it makes sense for the
"mdio" to appear in the generic dsa.yaml if there's nothing else that's
special about it.

Also, in the earlier patch version you had replied to David Bauer:

Could you please clarify what is your valid use case for not having a
phy-handle to a PHY on an MDIO bus that is otherwise present in OF?
It doesn't _have_ to be broken. Since DSA knows the addresses of the
internal PHYs, it can circumvent the lack of auto-scanning by manually
calling get_phy_device() at the right (port-based) MDIO addresses.
But any patch would need to have a clear reason before being considered
for merging.

I agree with this. I've done this which works. It's even found a port
node with the ethernet property missing, as it should've.

I had one possible use case, PHY muxing, but it has nothing to do with
the PHY registers of the PHYs on the internal MDIO bus so it's not a
valid use case.

I think circumventing the mdio node for ports without a phy-handle will
bring unnecessary complexity and confusion as I may define a port with
reg = <1> with phy-handle to a phy with reg = <4>. In that case, a port
with reg = <4> without a phy-handle would try the phy with reg <4> and fail.

This is of course if I understood correctly that "(port-based) MDIO
addresses" means reading the MDIO address of a phy from the reg of a
port defined under the ports node.

Are you planning to complete/submit your work below?
I'm asking because being able to reference the PHYs on the internal
MDIO bus is mandatory on MT7988 which requires calibration data from
NVMEM for each PHY, so supporting MT7988 depends on the associated
driver change[1].

This patch triggered conversation on a deeper level regarding the
devicetree bindings aspect of it. I will continue discussing that with the
maintainers here and achieve a mutual agreement.

To get things going on the driver side, I think it's fine to submit that
as a single patch. I'll do that in a week, if nobody else does it first.
