Now it is clear to me. I used the dtb for my board that had already
changed the phy node and tried to boot the "old" kernel 5.14. Thus no
phy could be found. Nevertheless the kernel should not crash in case
no phy was found.

So I made a beginner's mistake here. But this also means that you can
no longer start an old kernel with the changed dtb. This comes into
play when you e.g. a standard distribution where the embedded dtb is
passed from the uboot via EFI boot.
