Is your board based on the Lite5200 or the Lite5200B? The phys are at
different addresses on those two revisions of the board. There is a
different .dts file for each board.

Some PHYs treat address 0 as the 'broadcast' address. You need to
fill in this field (and modify the ethernet-phy@<address> node name)
to reflect the address that your phy is actually at.

This change in reg value was not required till 2.6.31. It is only
after this version that the change is needed. Is there some change in
31 that makes this change mandatory?

I have tried the same with the latest kernel both with and without
rt, but with the same end result. I have checked that the mpc52xx fec
driver was changed from 2.6.31 version but I am not able to point
where this error is coming up from and how changing the reg value in
dts (which is not required till previous versions) is solving this.
