Yes. barebox depends on devicetree and most of special PHY
configuration is already provided by devicetree. Your initial suggestion
was to duplicate information provide by DT and put it in to the board
file. Which is exactly opposite of what you wont.

At same time, fixups introduce more issue:
- they are applied on multiple PHYs detected on one board. For example
  boards with switches.
- they are applied on external HW. For example USB adapter with same
  PHY.

Sorry, it is not correct. It should be:
if (priv->set_rmii_clk_sel)
	phy_set_bits(phydev, MII_KSZPHY_CTRL, KSZ8051_RMII_50MHZ_CLK);
else
	phy_clear_bits(phydev, MII_KSZPHY_CTRL, KSZ8051_RMII_50MHZ_CLK);

There are KSZ PHY variants with opposite meaning of the same bit. So, at
the end I see no advantage of changing it.

No, i wont to see what is so special for you about this driver.
There should be reason why thing which you blame, make no sense for me.
