Once you make it actually compile....

I'm not sure this is safe. The loop above this one has just destroyed
some phys, and now you are potentially disconnecting a phy you just
destroyed, causing it to be accessed?

I would suggest you first fix the ordering in dsa_switch_destroy()
and then add the missing netif_carrier_off() and phy_disconnect().

Thanks
