Ok, so this issue dates back to v4.12, but the patch won't apply that
far due to the difference in patch context.

Since the definition itself of the MT753X_BPC register was added as part
of commit c288575f7810 ("net: dsa: mt7530: Add the support of MT7531
switch") - dated v5.10 - then this patch cannot be practically be
backported beyond that.

So I see no possible objection to the request I'm about to make, which is:
please group this and the identical logic from mt7531_setup() into a
common function and call that.
