I've just built and tested this on MT7623 BPi-R2 board with MT7530
connnected to SoC via TRGMII and observed that it all works fine.

However, on this platform we could safe some bytes by still allowing
mt7530.c to be built without pcs-mtk-lynxi which isn't used on MT7623
by either the ethernet or the switch driver.

To me this is not a priority, and doing that would involve adding some
ifdef'ery which isn't really nice. However, if anyone has a strong
opinion in favor of allowing mt7530.c (or even mtk_eth_soc) to be built
without pcs-mtk-lynxi, let me know and I will make the necessary
changes.
