Sorry, i didn't described all details how to implement it.

This code will break EEE support for the KSZ8563R switch.

Please search for MICREL_KSZ8_P1_ERRATA in the kernel source.
Then add new flag, for example MICREL_NO_EEE and use it in a similar
way how MICREL_KSZ8_P1_ERRATA was set and used. With this
implementation, first patch is not needed.

The code will be something like this:
if (dev_flags & MICREL_NO_EEE)
/* lots of comments */
linkmode_and(phydev->supported_eee, phydev->supported, zero);
else
/* lots of other comments */
linkmode_and(phydev->supported_eee, phydev->supported,
PHY_EEE_CAP1_FEATURES);

On the switch driver side i would expect something like this:
ksz_get_phy_flags(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port)

swtich (dev->chip_id)
case KSZ8830_CHIP_ID:
....
break;
case KSZ9477_CHIP_ID:
return MICREL_NO_EEE;
