You probably don't mean "call X() from X()" (that would make it recursive),
but maybe from mt7530_setup(). But it was already called from mt7530_setup(),
so I don't understand what is being transmitted here...

Sorry, I didn't understand... so what was the problem, and how does the
movement of the mt7530_setup_port5() call that isn't under phylink solve
that problem?
