Thanks for reviewing it.

After double-checking I realize that the correct fix would be to pass
the phy address, like:

phy: ethernet-phy@1 {
reg = <1>;

Since the Ethernet PHY address is design dependant, I can not make the
fix myself.

I will try to ping the board maintainers for passing the correct phy address.

Thanks
