Smatch doesn't know:
1) What the value of priv->p5_intf_sel is going into this function
2) We enter the for_each_child_of_node() loop
3) That if (phy_node->parent == priv->dev->of_node->parent) { is
   definitely true for one element on the list.

Looking at how Smatch parses this code, I could probably improve problem
#1 a bit.  Right now Smatch sees "struct mt7530_priv *priv = ds->priv;"
and "priv->p5_intf_sel" is unknown, but I could probably improve it to
where it says that it's in the 1-3 range.  But that doesn't help here
and it doesn't address problems 2 and 3.

It's a hard problem.
