To avoid repeating the past, this patch, if approved, will be merged
through the sunxi tree, not netdev nor net-next.

Are you expecting people to override this properly?

As it currently is, any external phy at address 1 will simply
reuse the same device node. And if they don't override the
property correctly, the driver will end up trying to use
the internal phy, while the user is expecting the external
one to be used.

Maybe you could move this to some other address, maybe the last
valid one, or second last valid one?
