You can access ds directly here.

I don't see any device tree in mainline for qca,qca8334 that uses
SGMII on the CPU port, but there are some assumptions being made here,
and there are also going to be some assumptions made in the MAC
driver, and I just want to make sure that those assumptions are not
going to be incompatible, so I would like you to make some
clarifications.
So there's a single SGMII interface which can go to port 0 (the CPU
port) or to port 6, right? The SGMII port can behave as an AN master
or as an AN slave, depending on whether MODE_CTRL is 1 or 2, or can
have a forced speed (if SERDES_AEN is disabled)?
We don't have a standard way to describe an SGMII AN master that is
not a PHY in the device tree, because I don't think anybody needed to
do that so far.
Typically a MAC would describe the link towards the CPU port of the
switch as a fixed-link. In that case, if the phy-mode is sgmii, it
would disable in-band autoneg, because there's nothing really to
negotiate (the link speed and duplex is fixed). For these, I think the
expectation is that the switch does not enable in-band autoneg either,
and has a fixed-link too. Per your configuration, you would disable
SerDes AN, and you would configure the port as SGMII AN master (PHY),
but that setting would be ignored because AN is disabled.
In other configurations, the MAC might want to receive in-band status
from the CPU port. In those cases, your answer to that problem seems
to be to implement phylink ops on both drivers, and to set both to
managed = "in-band-status" (MLO_AN_INBAND). This isn't a use case
explicitly described by phylink (I would even go as far as saying that
MLO_AN_INBAND means to be an SGMII AN slave), but it would work
because of the check that we are a CPU port.
As for the case of a cascaded qca8334-to-qca8334 setup, this would
again work, because on one of the switches, dsa_is_cpu_port would be
true and on the other one it would be false.
So I'm not suggesting we should change anything, I just want to make
sure I understand if this is the reason why you are configuring it
like this.
