More specifically?

I see the phy-handle to the switch is inherited from the .txt dt-binding,
but I don't understand it. The switch is an mdio_device, not a phy_device,
so what will this do?

Also, any reasonable host driver will error out if it finds a phy-handle
and a fixed-link in its OF node. So one of phy-handle or fixed-link must
be dropped, they are bogus.

Even better, just stick to the mdio node as root and drop the DSA master
OF node, like other DSA dt-binding examples do. You can have dangling
phandles, so "ethernet = <&ethernet>" below is not an issue.

Redundant, please remove.

FWIW, RMII has a MAC mode and a PHY mode. Two RMII interfaces connected
in MAC mode to one another don't work. You'll have problems if you also
have an RMII PHY connected to one of the xMII ports, and you describe
phy-mode = "rmii" for both. There exists a "rev-rmii" phy-mode to denote
an RMII interface working in PHY mode. Wonder if you should be using
that here.

No need for this node.

Separate patch please? Changes to the MAINTAINERS file get applied to
the "net" tree.
