This patch looks to me like it needs to be updated...

If the port supports e.g. RGMII (as it does via the media converter)
then it also supports 1000baseX modes as well - because a PHY attached
to the RGMII port can convert to 1000baseX.

This basically means "I support every phy_interface_t mode that has ever
been implemented" which surely is not what you want. I doubt from the
above that you support 10GBASE-KR for example.

Please instead implement the .phylink_get_caps DSA switch interface, and
fill in the config->supported_interfaces for all interface modes that
the port supports (that including the media converter as well) and the
config->mac_capabilities members.
