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.
