Humm no please do not provide a fallback, if we cannot find a valid
'phy-mode' property we error out. This controller can be used with a
variety of configurations (internal EPHY/GPHY, MoCA, external
MII/Reverse MII/RGMII) and from a support perspective it is much easier
for us if the driver errors out if one of those essential properties are
omitted.

Other than that, this looks OK.
