Do you have a list of DTS files that are affected by any chance? For the
32-bit platforms that I looked it, it seems like:

arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3228-evb.dts is OK because it has a MDIO bus node
arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3229-xms6.dts is also OK

arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3229-evb.dts is probably broken, there is no
phy-handle property or MDIO bus node, so it must be relying on
auto-scanning of the bus somehow that this patch broke.

And likewise for most 64-bit platforms except a1 and nanopi4.

Yes, this was also identified to be problematic by the kernelci boot
farms on another platform, see [1].

Do you mind trying this patch and letting me know if it works for you.
Sriram, please also try it on your platforms and let me know if solves
the problem you were after. Thanks
