>  - (EVMSK) dual emac, phy-handle property in both slaves
>  - (EVMSK) a bad phy-handle property pointing to &mmc1
>  - (EVMSK) phy_id property with incorrect PHY address
>  - (BeagleBoneBlack) single emac, phy_id property
>  - (custom) single emac, fixed-link subnode

Quickly boot tested these against next on dra62x-j5eco EVM:
