The qca8k dsa switch can use either an external or internal mdio bus.
This depends on whether the mdio node is defined under the switch node
itself and, as such, the internal_mdio_mask is populated with its
internal phys. Upon registering the internal mdio bus, the slave_mii_bus
of the dsa switch is assigned to this bus. When an external mdio bus is
used, it is left unassigned, though its id is used to create the device
names of the leds.
This leads to the leds being named '(efault):00:green:lan' and so on as
the slave_mii_bus is null. So let's fix this by adding a null check and
use the devicename of the external bus instead when an external bus is
configured.

Fix the led device names when an external mdio is configured.
The current codepath for registering led device names 'assumes' that the
internal mdio bus is used. Therefore, add a check and fallback to the
device name of the external mdio bus while creating the led device
names.

Wrong device names:
root@OpenWrt:~# ls -l /sys/class/leds                                           
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1  1970 (efault):00:green:lan -> ../../devices/platform/soc@0/90000.mdio/mdio_bus/90000.mdio-1/90000.n
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1  1970 (efault):01:green:lan -> ../../devices/platform/soc@0/90000.mdio/mdio_bus/90000.mdio-1/90000.n
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1  1970 (efault):02:green:lan -> ../../devices/platform/soc@0/90000.mdio/mdio_bus/90000.mdio-1/90000.n

Correct device names:
root@OpenWrt:~# ls -l /sys/class/leds

Hi Andrew, would you mind taking a quick look?

There is a somewhat ongoing discussion which could affect this:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20250425151309.30493-1-kabel@kernel.org/

It could well be there is no internal and external MDIO bus, its just
one bus with two bus masters. LED names are somewhere ABI, so i think
we need to resolve the other thread first.
