I would add some more debugging printk output to check where the device
initialisation fails. Or if the phy runs without any initialisation, you
could use the fixed-phy patches from Vitali Bordug and hardcode the speed and
duplex settings in the device tree until you real phy driver is finished.

thanks,
Jochen
