There is no need to set priv->p5_interface and priv->p6_interface to
PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA on mt7530_setup() and mt7531_setup().

As Vladimir explained, in include/linux/phy.h we have:

Therefore, do not put 0 into a variable containing 0.

The explanation is unnecessarily long. I only provided it to make sure
you understand.

I don't see a problem with a bit of verbosity on the patch log. It should make the reader understand the code path better.
