IIRC we had a bunch of issues with the PHY on the HiFive Unleashed, 
there was a quirky reset sequence that it wouldn't even probe 
correctly without.  We have a 

    &eth0 {
            status = "okay";
            phy-mode = "gmii";
            phy-handle = <&phy0>;
            phy0: ethernet-phy at 0 {
                    compatible = "ethernet-phy-id0007.0771";
                    reg = <0>;
            };
    };

in the Unleashed DT, but I can't find anything similar in the Icicle DT

    &mac1 {
            status = "okay";
            phy-mode = "sgmii";
            phy-handle = <&phy1>;
            phy1: ethernet-phy at 9 {
                    reg = <9>;
                    ti,fifo-depth = <0x1>;
            };
            phy0: ethernet-phy at 8 {
                    reg = <8>;
                    ti,fifo-depth = <0x1>;
            };
    };

I seem to remember picking that specific phy because it was similar to 
the one that was POR for the Icicle at the time we decided, maybe you 
have a similar phy with a similar quirk and need a similar workaround?
