If it's determining where switch mac5 is wired, a phy-handle is fine.
Here we are determining where exposed rgmii2 pins are wired.
It can be wired to switch mac5 or skip the switch mac completely
and connected to phy0/phy4.
Current driver is determining rgmii2 wiring on mt7530 using phy-handle
on *another unrelated ethernet node* which doesn't sound right.
