Zero is the MDIO broadcast address. Doesn't the switch respond to it, or
what's exactly the problem?

I fail to understand the logic behind blaming this commit. There was no
observable issue prior to 868ff5f4944a ("net: dsa: mt7530-mdio: read PHY
address of switch from device tree"), was there? That's what 'git bisect'
with a broken device tree would point towards?

The prototype fits onto a single line.

In addition to being weirdly indented and having difficult to follow
logic.. Why not opt for the simple, self-documenting variant below?

	switch (phy_addr) {
	case 0 ... 6:
	case 31:
		return 31;
	case 7 ... 14:
		return 7;
	case 15 ... 22:
		return 15;
	case 23 ... 30:
		return 23;
	default:
		return -EINVAL ???
	}

Why not implement this in terms of phy_addr != mt7530_correct_addr(phy_addr)?

What makes it so that mt7530_remove_impossible() is actually guaranteed
to run after the probing of the mdio_device @ the incorrect address
_finishes_? mdio_device_remove() will not work on a device which has
probing in progress, will it?

There's also the more straightforward option of fixing up priv->mdiodev->addr
in mt7530.c to be something like priv->switch_base, which is derived
from priv->mdiodev->addr, with a fallback to 0x1f if the latter is zero,
and a FW_WARN().
