Do you know if this PHY is available standalone?

This gets me worried about RGMII delays. We have had bad backwards
compatibility problems with PHY drivers which get RGMII delays wrong.

Since this is an internal PHY, i suggest you add a test to the
beginning of mt7531_phy_config_init():

	if (phydev->interface != PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_INTERNAL)
		return -EINVAL;

We can then solve RGMII problems when somebody actually needs RGMII.
