Nope. It is a switch, not a PHY. Switches are never auto-probed
because they are not guaranteed to have ID registers.

You need to use the legacy device tree binding. Look in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/dsa/dsa.txt, section Deprecated
Binding. You can get more examples if you checkout old kernels. Or
kirkwood-rd88f6281.dtsi, the dsa { } node which is disabled.
