On some platforum the external phy can only interface to the port 5 of the
switch because the RGMII TX and RX lines are swapped. But it still can be
useful to use the internal phy of the switch to act as a WAN port which
connectes to the 2nd GMAC. This gives WAN port dedicated bandwidth to
the SOC. This increases the LAN and WAN routing.

By adding the optional property mediatek,ephy-handle, the external phy
is put in isolation mode when internal phy is connected to 2nd GMAC via
phy-handle property.

Most platforms we have seen so far implement this logic with a mdio-mux,
can you see if that is possible here? stmmac has plenty of examples like
those.

May I don't understand it correctly, but all the devices are on the same MDIO
bus.
I tried to make a ASCII diagram to make it a bit more clear.

I don't see why I need a MDIO mux. Devices; 2nd GMAC, external phy and port 5
share the same RGMII bus. Depending on the port 5 mux settings, port 5  
is acting
as a GMAC of PHY of port 0/4. As long as the unused devices doesn't drive the
RGMII bus we are good.

2nd GMAC RGMII control is currently set with a pinctrl "RGMII2".
Port 5 and external phy are done in mt7530_port5_setup() depending on the
device-tree.

Greats,

René

Based on your diagram and your explanation, then I do not really see a
need for that property you can scan all of the switch port's properties
and determined which configuration is applied and perform the PHY
isolation as necessary. It looks like you are using this property as a
way to simplify your configuration logic, that is not quite what Device
Tree is meant for.
