Hi,

I have a device with a rtl8367s connected via SGMII with 2.5GBit/s to a
MT7622, currently I plan to make it work with the OpenWrt driver first,
and with the upstream DSA driver later.

I have the vendor GPL driver / hardware abstraction layer and would like
to use that from user space to configure something and monitor what it
actually sends to the hardware. I haven't found a way yet in which the
SoC in the mt7622 allows me to send something onto the MDIO bus from
user space. I used this code as a base:
https://github.com/PieVo/mdio-tool/blob/master/mdio-tool.c which uses
SIOCSMIIREG and SIOCGMIIREG, but the PHY has to be up and should not use
a fixed link to make this work. Currently the kernel does not allow me
to send the data from the user space, does someone know how to do this?
I already specified many different phy-modes in the device tree.

This is the MAC driver I am using:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.4-rc1/source/drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/mtk_eth_soc.c
