True!

As a port it exist on the SoC yes but it is not connected physically
to anything.

&gmac0 is connected to the switch, and the switch has all the PHYs.

(I don't know if I misunderstand the question...)

If you by remote end mean the end of a physical cable there is
no way I can do that, as I have no PHY on gmac1.

But I have other Gemini platforms, so I will try to do it on one
of them! Let's see if I can do this thing....
