Btw, forgot to mention. I'll look into this one and try to find the
reason why it wasn't handled automatically. And then come up with a
fix.

If you want to find out why fw_devlink didn't notice the cycle
correctly for the case of 2 PHYs vs 1 PHY, I'd appreciate that too.

Btw, same comment for remote-endpoint. I'll look into what's going on
in that case. Btw, I'm assuming all the code and DT you are testing
this on is already upstream. Can you please confirm that?
