Hi Dongsheng

I don't see why you need this property. The ethernet interface has a
phy-handle which points to a PHY. That is all you need to find the PHY.

        emac0: ethernet@feb20000 {
                compatible = "qcom,fsm9900-emac";
                reg = <0xfeb20000 0x10000>,
                      <0xfeb36000 0x1000>;
                interrupts = <76>;

                clocks = <&gcc 0>, <&gcc 1>, <&gcc 3>, <&gcc 4>, <&gcc 5>,
                        <&gcc 6>, <&gcc 7>;
                clock-names = "axi_clk", "cfg_ahb_clk", "high_speed_clk",
                        "mdio_clk", "tx_clk", "rx_clk", "sys_clk";

                internal-phy = <&emac_sgmii>;

                phy-handle = <&phy0>;

                #address-cells = <1>;
                #size-cells = <0>;

                phy0: ethernet-phy@0 {
                        reg = <0>;
                };

                phy1: ethernet-phy@1 {
                        reg = <1>;
                };

                pinctrl-names = "default";
                pinctrl-0 = <&mdio_pins_a>;
        };

        emac1: ethernet@38900000 {
                compatible = "qcom,fsm9900-emac";
		...
		...

                phy-handle = <&phy1>;
	};
