Nope, this is not the full story. Yes, you can have these compatible
strings. But you can also use the PHY ID,
e.g. ethernet-phy-idAAAA.BBBB, where AAAA and BBBB are what you find in
registers 2 and 3 of the PHY.

So here you need, in addition to, not instead of.

Please test you change on for example imx6ul-14x14-evk.dtsi
