Thanks. That is enough to fix the phylink issue triggered by commit
7fb5a711545 ("net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: drop adjust_link to enabled
phylink").

The Clearfog GT-8K DT has also this on the cpu side:

&cp1_eth2 {
        status = "okay";
        phy-mode = "2500base-x";
        phys = <&cp1_comphy5 2>;
        fixed-link {
                speed = <2500>;
                full-duplex;
        };
};

Should I drop fixed-link here as well?

The call to mv88e6341_port_set_cmode() introduced in commit 7a3007d22e8
("net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: fully support SERDES on Topaz family") still
breaks port 5 (cpu) configuration. When called, its mode parameter is
set to PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_2500BASEX (19).

Any idea?

Thanks,
baruch
