Yes, that's what's detected and the OpenWRT page says 88E6131-LAR1. And my
test setup looks like:

88e6131
|- lan1:10.100.1.55 <-- switch --> eth0:10.100.1.41 -|
|- lan4:10.100.4.55 <-- cable --> enp0:10.100.4.41 -|
laptop
enp0 is a 100M USB network card, the switch is gigabit and on the rest of
my network here, so there's assorted background broadcast chatter. If the
noise is confusing matters then can disconnect it.

Firstly I've tried to to rebase against net-next[0], but after adding 6131
to mv88e6xxx_of_match, &chip->ppu_work seems to be causing a NULL pointer
ooops. I'll assume it's not done yet and ignore net-next for now.

Okay, back to my original wnr854t-support-v0a branch based on 4.6,
switched to .tag_protocol = DSA_TAG_PROTO_EDSA and reconfig'ed to
add support, but there's no traffic in/out of any port. tcpdump on the
underlying ethernet port shows encapsulated broadcast traffic, e.g. this
ARP request from enp0:10.100.4.41:

00:15:31.173399 1a:ff:0f:fe:10:22 (oui Unknown) > Broadcast, ethertype

...but no unicast traffic.

Okay, I rebased 4.7-rc7, ignoring my ropey attempts to configure the LEDs,
cherry-picked the above commit. Pushed the result if it's useful[1]. The
debugfs code wouldn't patch cleanly onto 4.6 or net-next.

On boot up I get:

mdio_bus f1072004.mdio-bu: switch 0x106 probed: Marvell 88E6131, revision 6

Like above (since 4.7 seems to use DSA_TAG_PROTO_EDSA), there's no
traffic visible with tcpdump on lan1/4 (broadcast or unicast), only
broadcast traffic on the backing port, eth0.

Apart from (laptop enp0), everything is on lan1/port 5. Let me know if
it's useful to shed the background noise and/or try something in
particular. Thanks for the help!
