Looks good, there's a couple of issues / questions

Is inband mode configurable?  What if the link partner does/doesn't
send the configuration word?  How is the link state communicated to
the MAC?

Maybe also force the link down in this case, since the state is invalid?

Do you have access to the link partner's configuration word?  If you do,
you should use that to fill in state->lp_advertising.

If operating in in-band mode, forcing the link down unconditionally
will prevent the link coming up if the SGMII/1000base-X block
automatically updates the MAC, and if this takes precedence.

When using in-band mode, you need to call dsa_port_phylink_mac_change()
to keep phylink updated with the link status.

Alternatively, phylink supports polling mode, but due to the layered
way DSA is written, DSA drivers don't have access to that as that is
in the DSA upper levels in net/dsa/slave.c (dsa_slave_phy_setup(),
it would be dp->pl_config.pcs_poll).

Apart from those points, I think it looks fine, thanks.
