This belated patch implements Andrew Lunn's request of
"remove the phy_read() and phy_write() functions."
<https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/comment/902734/>
While seemingly harmless, this causes the switch's user
port PHYs to get registered twice. This is because the
DSA subsystem will create a slave mdio-bus not knowing
that the qca8k_phy_(read|write) accessors operate on
the external mdio-bus. So the same "bus" gets effectively
duplicated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
