Problem here is that from Documentation falling edge can be set only on
PAD0. PAD5 and PAD6 have the related bit reserved.
But anyway qca8k support only single sgmii and it's not supported a
config with multiple sgmii. Do we have standard binding for this?

About the mac swap. Do we really need to implement a complex thing for
something that is really implemented internally to the switch? With this
option MAC6 is swapped with MAC0. But with the port configuration in DT
it doesn't change anything. Same reg, no change. It's really that some
OEM connect the secondary port instead of the primary (for some reason,
hw choice?) and swap them internally.

Anyway some question.
I will move the falling binding to the port DT node and move the
configuration to mac_config. Should I keep the
dedicated function to setup PAD0 swap or I can directly add the check in
the qca8k_setup for only the bit related to enable the swap?
