I assume the switch driver you are using is broken. I do not get some of my devices to work with the bgmac driver + BCM53125 at all. After some modifications to the switch driver I was able to transmit some packages but did not receive anything. I do not want to invest many efforts in the old switch driver that's the reason I want to get a separate phy driver and use the b53 switch driver any try this out or fix it if necessary. I assume your problem is also related to the switch. Did you apply the patches I added to OpenWrt [0] and send for linux mainline kernel inclusion? They are needed to make bridge the switch interface, otherwise you get the problems described in this ticket [1].
