Ech.... I will fix it.

The same here.

No. The mtip_mii_probe() is only called in mtip_open(), which is called
only when netdevice's DT node is correctly parsed in the
mtip_sw_probe().

In the:
./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/nxp,imx28-mtip-switch.yaml
one can have only ethernet-ports set to [12].
In the current tree - some switches start numbering from 0, other from
1.
I would opt for keeping things as they are now...

The mdiobus_unregister() is missing.
I will add it.

Yes. The dma_free_coherent() is missing.
I will add it for v21.
