So to summarize - you don't want to see a third phy spamming the console 
with probe errors ...

I think a combination of the suggestions would be doable:
- Add the new phy to dt, with status disabled
- keep the existing phys unchanged
- after probing in u-boot, disable the two old entries, and enable the 
new one

It is not very convenient since that means changes to u-boot are necessary,
but it can be done - and won't break existing users only updating Linux.

sincerely
Josua Mayer
