Understood and no objection there. I was just making sure that there is
no existing case in upstream where the internal PHYs are described in OF,
that we'd have to preserve IRQ functionality for.

Empty line between variable declarations and code. Or you can initialize
them as part of their declaration, but you need to stick to the "longest
line first" rule.

Also, it would be good to also check of_device_is_available(mnp).

This is going to be interesting. There isn't really a correct way to
manage the reference to "mnp", as far as I can tell. Normally, it should
have been possible to release the reference as you did. But you need
something along the lines of what Luiz/Russell have been discussing
here:

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20231220045228.27079-2-luizluca@xxxxxxxxx/

In any case, the devres variant of of_mdiobus_register() seems incompatible
with the mt7530 driver owning the "mnp" node for any longer than this,
because it has no hook to call of_node_put() once the MDIO bus is unregistered.

Looks sane.

FWIW, I found Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/dsa/microchip,lan937x.yaml
where internal PHYs don't have an 'interrupts' property, yet they are
probably still expected to use interrupts - according to ksz_irq_phy_setup().

Anyway, what's done is done, but I still don't see the point of making
the binding much more flexible than it needs to be.
