Absolutely. In fact, I'm working on one right now... Access methods to 
PHYs are currently common (miiphybb.c and miiphyutil.c) but there's no 
reason why the TSEC, UCC and other drivers should have hard wiring for 
individual PHY devices. Any design suggestions you or others have are 
welcome.

regards,
Ben
