O.K, so maybe we should solve it the device tree way:


       &mdio0 {
       	      	phy_port1: phy@0 {
	      		reg = <0>;
		};

       	      	phy_port2: phy@1 {
	      		reg = <1>;
		};

       	      	phy_port3: phy@2 {
	      		reg = <2>;
		};

       	      	phy_port4: phy@3 {
	      		reg = <3>;
		};

       	      	phy_port5: phy@4 {
	      		reg = <4>;
		};

		switch@0 {
                       compatible = "qca,qca8337";

                       #address-cells = <1>;
                       #size-cells = <0>;
                       reg = <30>;

                       ports {
                               port@11 {
                                       reg = <11>;
                                       label = "cpu";
                                       ethernet = <&gmac1>;
                                       phy-mode = "rgmii";
                               };

                               port@1 {
                                       reg = <1>;
                                       label = "lan1";
				       phy-handle = <&phy_port1>;
                               };

                               port@2 {
                                       reg = <2>;
                                       label = "lan2";
				       phy-handle = <&phy_port2>;
                               };

                               port@3 {
                                       reg = <3>;
                                       label = "lan3";
				       phy-handle = <&phy_port3>;
                               };

                               port@4 {
                                       reg = <4>;
                                       label = "lan4";
				       phy-handle = <&phy_port4>;
                               };
                       };
               };
       };

and remove the phy_read() and phy_write() functions.
