I think the answer is "no, the phy was not probed".  Without reverting
that commit, there is absolutely nothing in /sys/bus/mdio_bus/devices.
There is no phy device link under /sys/bus/mdio_bus/drivers/"TI DP83867",
and there is no mdio_bus under /sys/bus/platform/devices/ff0e0000.ethernet.

When I revert that commit, I can locate the phy device under all these
locations.

Booting with fw_devlink=off results in no obvious change in behaviour.

Thanks,
