Agree, would be nice if dtbs_check could be a little bit more verbose
about use of deprecated props :-)

Ohh, typically there has been issues for Linux to find the Ethernet PHY unless
it has first been reset by boot firmware. Something like:

  rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet eth0: no phy at addr -1
  rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet eth0: stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -19)

There was a chicken-and-egg issue related to detecting ethernet phy:
- phy needs to be reset or phy_id read back as 0xffffffff on mdio bus
- phy device is not created because a valid phy_id is not read back
- phy device needs to be created before it can be reset

See [1] for more details on the ethernet phy issue that typically have
affected multiple Rockchip boards with RTL8211F PHYs. Maybe it has been
fixed in v6.13+.
