The PHY commit is correct, in that it fixes a bug. So i don't want to
remove it.
Backporting it to stable is what is causing most of the issues today,
combined with a number of broken DT descriptions. So i would be happy
for stable to get a patch which looks at the strapping, sees ID is
enabled via strapping, warns the DT blob is FUBAR, and then ignores
the requested PHY-mode. That gives developers time to fix their broken
DT.
