Hi Joakim and Vladimir,

I looked in the U-Boot code for the nitrogenx6x board:
https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/master/board/boundary/nitrogen6x/nitrogen6x.c#L343-356

and it scans for a range of Ethernet PHY addresses.

As we can't pass a reg property in the dts in this case, the patch I
sent that removes the
#address-cells/#size-cells properties looks good, right?

What do you think?
