Also, for what its worth, I tried this just now by making this change:

err = felix_validate_phy_mode(felix, port, phy_mode);
if (err < 0) {
        dev_err(dev, "Unsupported PHY mode %s on port %d\n",
                phy_modes(phy_mode), port);
        of_node_put(child);
 -      return err;
 +      continue;
}

This functions in that I only see swp1-swp3, but I don't think it
should - it is just leaving phy_mode set to 0 (PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA).
My guess is it'll need more logic to say "don't add these DSA ports because
the driver doesn't support those PHY interfaces"
