I did start a branch to bring mt7620 ethernet+dsa upstream, but since
I burned my test device's serial port, my mt7620 and rtl8367s dev days
are over. After me, I wouldn't bet someone else will invest the
required amount of time that mt7620 needs just to support an outdated
SoC. Its internal MT7530 still only supports FastEthernet, so to have
GbE, you need to add a second switch connected to its single Gigabit
RGMII port. If you need GbE, you can just use an mt7621.
