This looks a bit odd. PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA means don't touch,
something else has already configured the MAC-PHY mode in the PHY.
You should not not connect the PHY because of this.

Hmm.  I will have to revisit this again.  The intent was to be able to
destinguish between regular PHYs and SFPs (as read from the DT).
But maybe the phylink_of_phy_connect function handles this
automatically...

+{
+     if (port->phylink) {
+             /* Disconnect the phy */
+             if (rtnl_trylock()) {

Why do you use rtnl_trylock()?

The sparx5_port_stop() in turn calls phylink_stop() that expects the lock
to be taken.  Should I rather just call rtnl_lock()?

Thanks for your comments
