We had similar cases where the (single) PHY was in reset during Linux boot.
Should you be able to make this work by using a "ethernet-phy-id%4x.%4x" 
compatible? See also [1]

How are you dealing with EPROBE_DEFER if the reset line is e.g. attached to an 
i2c expander, which is to be probed later on?

How do you know a PHY's reset pulse width?

What about post-reset stabilization times before MDIO access is allowed?
