Did you try to implement b53_mmap_ops::phy_read16/phy_write16 and have 
them return -EIO such that you do not fallback to the else path:

                  ret = b53_read16(priv, B53_PORT_MII_PAGE(addr),
                                   reg * 2, &value);

The reason for the hang I believe is because the B53_PORT_MII_PAGE is 
simply not mapped into the switch register space, and there is no logic 
within the switch block to return an error when you read at that invalid 
location.

Re-implementing dsa_switch_ops is usually done when you have a very 
different switch integration logic, ala bcm_sf2, here it seems a bit of 
a tall order for simply not using the phy_read16/phy_write16 functions.
