This is not a hack, we are already using mdio bus node.
&gma1 {
phy-handle=ethernet-phy
}
mdio1 {
ethernet-phy {
}
}

Actually, *ethernet-phy-id* is one of the binding properties (see below).
we can find many examples in the device tree that used this property in
the linux kernel and u-boot.

Please check this phy reset section below.

If you have some other input please share I have tried but failed.

Thanks
