I tested the patch with a slight modification. Maybe the PHY picks up other
settings also on power-up/soft-reset only. Therefore I moved setting
ETH_PHY_CNTL2 to before powering up the PHY. Do you think that's needed/better?

With this patch the new PHY ID is effective early enough and the right
PHY driver is loaded also w/o overriding the PHY ID with a compatible.

Based on which version of the patch you prefer, are you going to submit it?
Else I can do it too, just let me know.
