I don't think phy-mode is actually deprecated. ethernet.txt actually says:

"This is now a de-facto standard property;" and no mentions that is
should not be used. Looking at actual device trees, phy-mode is by far
more popular than phy-connection-type.

fwnode_get_phy_mode() first looks for phy-mode and only falls back to
phy-connection-type if it is not present. The same is true for
of_get_phy_mode().

This array of 5 values format should be marked as deprecated.

This recently changed, depending on context. If PHYLINK is being used,
any speed is allowed. If phylib is used, then only these speeds are
allowed. And we are starting to see some speeds other than listed
here.
