It wouldn't. I'll drop this patch, thanks. For reference, PMCR_TX_EN 
(bit 14) for port 5 is also set in the case of PHY muxing with this code 
on mt7530_setup_port5() which doesn't use phylink.

		/* Setup the MAC by default for the cpu port */
		mt7530_write(priv, MT7530_PMCR_P(5), 0x56300);

0x56300 = 0101 0110 0011 0000 0000

Maybe I should make a patch to use the definitions on mt7530.h for this?
