6176 does not have an external MDIO bus. Only the 6390 family
does. The 6176 has just one bus, which is both internal and external.

"ports has invalid PHY address" does not exist in 5.4.36.

This is useless to us. You need to enable symbols in the image. I
think that is CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO.

static int dsa_switch_parse_ports_of(struct dsa_switch *ds,
                                     struct device_node *dn)
{
        struct device_node *ports, *port;
        struct dsa_port *dp;
        int err = 0;
        u32 reg;

        ports = of_get_child_by_name(dn, "ports");
        if (!ports) {
                dev_err(ds->dev, "no ports child node found\n");
                return -EINVAL;
        }

This would indicate your 'port' node is misplaced somehow.
