Yes and no. I was tested with the FEC, but because of fw_devlink=on,
the switches don't probe correctly. So it is not possible to see if it
helped or not, since its plain broken.

I manually tested linux-next, v5.14, v5.13 and v5.12 and then
bisected:

$ git bisect log
git bisect start
# good: [9f4ad9e425a1d3b6a34617b8ea226d56a119a717] Linux 5.12
git bisect good 9f4ad9e425a1d3b6a34617b8ea226d56a119a717
# bad: [62fb9874f5da54fdb243003b386128037319b219] Linux 5.13

So well away from linux-next which contains the phy-handle parser.

I will try to give the two patches a try today or tomorrow.

Which is not enough to fix these Ethernet switches.
