I integrated and used the phylink_pcs structure into the Lynx PCS just 
to see how everything fits. Pasting below the main parts so that we can 
catch early any possible different opinions on how to integrate this:

The basic Lynx structure looks like below and the main idea is just to 
encapsulate the phylink_pcs structure and the mdio device (which in some 
other cases might not be needed).

struct lynx_pcs {
        struct phylink_pcs pcs;
        struct mdio_device *mdio;
        phy_interface_t interface;
};

The lynx_pcs structure is requested by the MAC driver with:

struct lynx_pcs *lynx_pcs_create(struct mdio_device *mdio)
{
(...)
        lynx_pcs->mdio = mdio;
        lynx_pcs->pcs.ops = &lynx_pcs_phylink_ops;
        lynx_pcs->pcs.poll = true;

        return lynx_pcs;
}

And then passed to phylink with something like:

phylink_set_pcs(pl, &lynx_pcs->pcs);


For DSA it's a bit less straightforward because the .setup() callback 
from the dsa_switch_ops is run before any phylink structure has been 
created internally. For this, a new DSA helper can be created that just 
stores the phylink_pcs structure per port:

void dsa_port_phylink_set_pcs(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port,
                              struct phylink_pcs *pcs)
{
        struct dsa_port *dp = dsa_to_port(ds, port);

        dp->pcs = pcs;                                         but I do
}

and at the appropriate time, from dsa_slave_setup, it can really install 
the phylink_pcs with phylink_set_pcs.
The other option would be to add a new dsa_switch ops that requests the 
phylink_pcs for a specific port - something like phylink_get_pcs.
