We cannot do it by adding a quirk.
For Vybrid and i.MX6SX and later i.MX7 serial,  there have their own MDIO bus for each MAC.
But, for board design, to save two pin (MDIO, MDC), MAC0 and MAC1 share the MDIO bus. For example, i.MX6SX sdb/sabreai/arm2 boards did like this.
So we must add one dts property to distinguish it, not a quirk. 

Thanks,
Andy
