Please could you expand the commit message. What i think is going on
is that for the lower device, port 0 has phy address 0, port 1 phy
address 1. But the upper switch has port 0 phy address 16, port 1 phy
addr 17?

6141 and 6341 set phy_base_addr to 0x10. Oddly, this is only used for
the interrupt. So i assume these two devices also need device tree
phy-handle descriptions?

It would be nice to fix the 6141 and the 6341 as well.

What might help with understanding is have the patch for the mv88e6xxx
op first, and then wire it up in the core afterwards. Reviews tend to
happen first to last, so either your commit message needs to explain
what is coming, or you do things in the order which helps the reviewer
the most.
