FWIW I didn't see the 0/28 mail either. I tried these out on my RB3011
today. I currently use the GPIO MDIO driver because I saw issues with
the IPQ8064 driver in the past, and sticking with the GPIO driver I see
both QCA8337 devices and traffic flows as expected, so no obvious
regressions from your changes.

I also tried switching to the IPQ8064 MDIO driver for my first device
(which is on the MDIO0 bus), but it's still not happy:

qca8k 37000000.mdio-mii:10: Switch id detected 0 but expected 13
