If I understand correctly, this patch does two things.

Run mt7531_create_sgmii() from mt753x_setup(), after mt7531_setup() and 
mt7531_setup_common() is run so that PCS on MT7531BE works.

Run the PCS creation code inside the loop only once if 
mt7531_dual_sgmii_supported() is false so it doesn't set the nonexistent 
port 5 SGMII on MT7531BE.

Regarding the first part:
I was actually in the middle of moving the code until after 
mt7530_pll_setup() and mt7531_pll_setup() on mt7530_setup() and 
mt7531_setup() to mt7530_probe(). To me it makes more sense to run them 
on mt7530_probe() as there's a good amount of duplicate code on 
mt7530_setup() and mt7531_setup().

This will resolve the problem here, and make my future work regarding 
the PHY muxing feature on the MT7530 switch possible to do.

Regarding the second part:
I'll take your changes to my current RFC patch series while addressing 
Jesse's suggestion if this is fine by you.
