Hi Heiner

Just to reiterate Florian's point. We need to be careful with device
tree blobs. We should try not to break them, at least not for a few
cycles.

I would much prefer to see a

WARN_ON(phydev->interface == PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_XGMII,
        "Your devicetree is out of date, please update it");

and accept XGMII for this cycle. These are development boards, so in
theory users are developers, so should know how to update the DT.
