Ok thanks. I will investigate how the switch would be set up with an MFD 
driver, and how it would affect dt-bindings.

Looking back at my patch series, currently with this [0], SGMII on 
MT7531BE's port 6 starts working, and with Daniel's addition [1], the 
regulator warnings disappear.

I will submit the patch series as an RFC after addressing Daniel's 
inline functions suggestion.
