Quite the other way around. I'm saying that mt753x_cpu_port_enable(),
the function whose logic you're changing, already has a mechanism to
execute code specific to one switch family.

Hmm, by defining a new mt7530_cpu_port_config() procedure for ID_MT7621
and ID_MT7530?

Although in a different thread we are perhaps challenging the idea that
what is currently in priv->info->cpu_port_config() is useful - at least
half of it are manual invocations of phylink methods which are possibly
not needed. If after the removal of those, it no longer makes sense to
have priv->info->cpu_port_config() at all, then I'm not saying that the
explicit check for device id here doesn't make sense. Just that it's not
in harmony with what currently exists 3 lines above.

No specific preference. If you want to make this driver start using
FIELD_PREP() then go ahead.
