The company I currently work for has got their own mt7621a board with an 
external rtl8367s switch.

According to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/dsa/mt7530.txt I can 
either connect the rtl switch directly to the second GMAC of the mt7621 
SoC or to MT7530's GMAC5 to create a cascade.

I've been running gregkh/staging staging-next branch but I can't seem to 
have traffic flow on the RGMII2 bus which is shared by the 2nd GMAC of 
the SoC, MT7530's GMAC5 and an external phy (rtl switch in this case).

None of the documented configurations work:
PHY0/4 <-> 2nd GMAC
External phy <-> 2nd GMAC
External phy <-> MT7530's GMAC5
