Can we call it a pseudo PHY to use a similar terminology as what is done 
through drivers/net/dsa/{bcm_sf2,b53}*?

This is not a real PHY as in it has no actual transceiver/digital signal 
processing logic, this is a piece of logic that snoops for MDIO 
transactions at that specific address and lets you access the switch's 
internal register as if it was a MDIO device.

LGTM otherwise!
