This ti,dual-emac-pvid thing is a really odd thing to put in the device
tree. But what's the problem with VLAN 0 anyway?

Considering that the merge window is approaching, I'd say get the
non-DSA stuff accepted until then, then repost the DSA stuff in ~3 weeks
from now as non-RFC, once v5.18 is cut and the development for v5.20
(or whatever the number will be) begins.

Can you use hyphens instead of underscores in this compatible string?

I don't think the switch node should have any address?

This is going to be interesting. Some drivers with multiple MDIO buses
create an "mdios" container with #address-cells = <1> and put the MDIO
bus nodes under that. Others create an "mdio" node and an "mdio0" node
(and no address for either of them).

The problem with the latter approach is that
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/mdio.yaml does not accept the
"mdio0"/"mdio1" node name for an MDIO bus.

Similar thing with the address. All these @0 addresses actually conflict
with each other.

And mixing nodes with addresses with nodes without addresses is broken too.

Why does this get printed, if you put a dump_stack() in of_dma_configure_id()?

Do the PHYs not have a specific driver?
