Hello Jonas,

This should not be required since you will fail probing the interface
if you cannot connect to the PHY device.

Same here

This is too simplistic, you should at least do the following:

- check for an update in the PHY duplex setting and update the
Ethernet MAC with this new setting
- check for an update in the PHY speed settings and update relevant
MAC registers (RX/TX clock speed, PHY speed etc...)

Also, it is a good practice to retain the previous link
state/duplex/speed, compare them against the phydev values and call
phy_print_status() if there is any change.

Unless the hardware supports anything but MII, this is fine. A nicer
binding would include a "phy-mode" or "phy-connection-type" property
which describes how the Ethernet MAC and PHY are connected to each
other. You can then retrieve that property using of_get_phy_mode().
