I agree with you and your suggestion gave me an idea, what if
phy_read/phy_write wasn't set in b53 dsa_switch_ops for mmap?

So I implemented the following patch:
https://gist.github.com/Noltari/cfecb29d6401d06b9cb5dd199607918b#file-net-dsa-b53-mmap-disable-phy-read-write-patch

And this is the result:
https://gist.github.com/Noltari/cfecb29d6401d06b9cb5dd199607918b#file-net-dsa-b53-mmap-disable-phy-read-write-log

As you can see, bcm6368-mdio-mux is now used for every mii access as
it should have been from the beginning...
So I guess that the correct way of fixing the issue would be to
disable phy read/write from b53 mmap. However, I don't know if the
patch that I provided is correct, or if I should remove those from
dsa_switch_ops in any other way (I'm open to suggestions).
