Well, maybe I misunderstood the argument with DT completely, so I gave it a try:

--- a/drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx/chip.c
+++ b/drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx/chip.c
@@ -3797,6 +3797,7 @@ static int mv88e6xxx_mdio_register(struct mv88e6xxx_chip *chip,
bus->read_c45 = mv88e6xxx_mdio_read_c45;
bus->write_c45 = mv88e6xxx_mdio_write_c45;
bus->parent = chip->dev;
+ bus->phy_mask = GENMASK(31, mv88e6xxx_num_ports(chip));

if (!external) {
err = mv88e6xxx_g2_irq_mdio_setup(chip, bus);

Now THAT one makes a difference! With this on top, I'm back at normal boot time!
I hope this is what you had in mind?

Best regards, Klaus
