Thanks, made some progress on tracking down the root cause.
>From what I have discovered so far there is a chicken-and-egg problem:

- 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

Possible workarounds so far:
- phy is reset in U-Boot
  - very early work-in-progress at https://github.com/Kwiboo/u-boot-rockchip/commit/6ee80f9a895a32551cf30dd4252a4960ed80dfc9
- phy is reset using mdio bus reset
  - similar to old https://github.com/Kwiboo/linux-rockchip/commit/8597fcfa0c5c792dabb44a2db7b283c56c99ec6a
- phy is reset using deprecated snps,reset-gpio
  - similar to mdio bus reset
