Do you mean because of the 

-               switch0@0 {
+               switch@10 {
                        compatible = "qca,qca8337";
                        #address-cells = <1>;
                        #size-cells = <0>;
 
-                       reg = <0>;
+                       reg = <0x10>;

change?

or because I removed the phy-handles?

The reg = <0x10>; will be necessary regardless. Because this
is really a bug in the existing binding example and if it is
copied it will prevent the qca8k driver from loading. 
This is due to a resource conflict, because there will be 
already a "phy_port1: phy@0" registered at reg = <0>;
So this never worked would have worked.

Regards,
Christian
