Indeed, mvneta works, which is a plain old platform device that hasn't
even been converted to fwnode, so why don't the others?

Well, as it turns out, it's one of the cases where I spoke to soon,
thinking I knew what was the problem why probing failed, before actually
debugging.

I thought there was no dmesg output from DSA at all, which would have
indicated an eternal -EPROBE_DEFER situation. But there's one tiny line
I had overlooked:

[ 5.094013] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5: error -EINVAL: Failed to register DSA switch

This comes from here:

static int dsa_port_parse_fw(struct dsa_port *dp, struct fwnode_handle *fwnode)
{
struct fwnode_handle *ethernet = fwnode_find_reference(fwnode, "ethernet", 0);
bool link = fwnode_property_present(fwnode, "link");
const char *name = NULL;
int ret;

ret = fwnode_property_read_string(fwnode, "label", &name);
// if (ret)
// return ret;

dp->fwnode = fwnode;

The 'label' property of a port was optional, you've made it mandatory by accident.
It is used only by DSA drivers that register using platform data.

(side note, I can't believe you actually have a 'label' property for the
CPU port and how many people are in the same situation as you; you know
it isn't used for anything, right? how do we stop the cargo cult?)

So, nothing to do with device_match_fwnode() failing, that would have
been strange, come to think about it. Sorry for the noise here.

But looking at the deeper implementation of dev_fwnode() as:

struct fwnode_handle *dev_fwnode(struct device *dev)
{
return IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF) && dev->of_node ?
of_fwnode_handle(dev->of_node) : dev->fwnode;
}

I wonder, why did you have to modify mvpp2? It looks at dev->of_node
prior to returning dev->fwnode. It should work.
