Do you have the datasheet? What does it say about the ID in registers
2 and 3? Often the lower nibble is the revision. Meaning there can be
16 revisions of a PHY.

If you look at DP83869_PHY_DRIVER() it uses:

#define DP83869_PHY_DRIVER(_id, _name)                          \
{                                                               \
        PHY_ID_MATCH_MODEL(_id),                                \

As the name suggests, it matches on the model. The revision is
ignored. A mask is applied to ignore the lower nibble. So this change
looks pointless.

And this has the same issue. If you want the match to include the
revision, you need to use PHY_ID_MATCH_EXACT(). If the different
revisions are supposed to be compatible, a single PHY_ID_MATCH_MODEL()
is sufficient.
