phy-mode and phy-connection-type are synonyms. phy-mode takes
precedence. Look at drivers/of/of_net.c function of_get_phy_mode().

If your device tree declares both, it can lead to confusion. For
example if dtsi file says
  phy-mode = "rgmii";
and you include this dtsi file but than you say
  phy-connection-type = "rgmii-id";
the kernel code will use rgmii, not rgmii-id, because phy-mode takes
precedence over phy-connection-type.
