It can be done via DT, using the standard interrupt property, so long
as you use of_mdiobus_register(np).

But when you have an 7 port switch, and a nice simple mapping, port 0
PHY using interrupt 0, you can save a lot of device tree boilerplate
by doing it in code. And when you have 4 of these switches, it gets
very boring adding all the DT to just wire up the interrupts 28
interrupts.

Not easily. It is not always a simple mapping like this. Two of the
switches supported by mv88exxx offset the PHYs by 0x10. You really
need the switch driver involved, with its detailed knowledge of the
hardware.
